Chapter 20
THE SIZE OF A LEMON
Fletcher
Hey Lydi-bug, did you know that the baby is the size of a lemon right now?
Lydia
I did. How did you know that?
Fletcher
I downloaded one of those week-by-week apps. It asked me a bunch of questions about my menstrual cycle, which… I don’t have one, but I got it figured out when I entered your due date.
Lydia
Why did you download a pregnancy app?
Fletcher
Curious. Wanted to learn a few things
Lydia
Um, okay then
Fletcher
Tell the little lemon I say hi
Lydia
I will
Fletcher
Miss you, Lydi
Lydia
Miss you, too
Lydia
Tough game last night. How’s your cheek?
Fletcher
I’ve got a nice bruise, but I’ll survive. Thankfully, my good looks are still intact.
Lydia
Fletcher
You can admit it, you know. I’m good looking.
Lydia
Sure, Fletcher.
Fletcher
So you agree?
Fletcher
Pleaasseee tell me you saw that goal tonight.
Lydia
Wow, it only took you thirty seconds after you walked off the ice to boast about it. I think that’s a new record.
Fletcher
Thirty five seconds. You have a delay, remember?
Lydia
How could I forget.
It was a beautiful goal. Sorry you guys couldn’t pull the win.
Fletcher
Oh well. We’ll get the next one.
Miss you
Fletcher
You’re going to watch the game tonight, right?
Lydia
Of course, I always do unless I’m coaching, you know that.
Fletcher
I’m going to score a goal for you tonight.
Lydia
For me? Why?
Fletcher
I’m going to show you that I’m in it to win it. Make sure you’re watching.
I’ll call you before the game.
