The Dodgers and Reds had been tied, three games each. Marcus was pitching a shutout, but the Reds’ ace hitter caught the outside edge of a fastball and sent it over the fence for a walk-off home run.And that was that.Sami turned the TV off and gathered her things. She wasn’t glad for the loss, but it wasn’t the worst news. The team still had a successful season, and now she and Tyler could finalize their wedding plans.A few security guards and volunteers were still finishing up at the center, but most everyone had gone home. Sami was about to leave when she heard someone out in the hallway. She turned just as Aspyn walked into the room.“Sami! I caught you!” Aspyn was a local volunteer. She hadn’t been around as much lately. “One of the neighbors told me I could find you here.” She walked in and took one of the seats in the front row. “Can you talk?”“Umm.” Sami was supposed to talk with Tyler later. She checked the clock on the wall. “I have another meeting.”
