That's when the batting coach came in and asked, "Hey! What're ya tryin' to do, wear out my machine? We're getting another machine that can pitch up t...o about ninety-five so you can get some practice with some real fastballs. You have a good swing, but you don't step into the ball very hard. I think we'll work on your hips and shoulders a little and see how we can get you hitting even harder than you do now. Go out to the field. The other guys are running and you should be out there too."I went. I was mesmerized.Whole night I thought about her and making love to her and couldn’t sleep but I thought this is wrong so I decided to keep distance from her as I was worried that she had been widowed recently and if I got caught I will lose her friendship too. For next 1 week neither did I attend her calls and messages nor did I meet her. I was going crazy without seeing her and she too was constantly pinging me.Finally a few days later i couldn’t take it anymore and decided to profess my love. There were only two stores off the lobby, DeseretIndustries, and another LDS-related store, but I am not sure which. I walked into the complex from the side, and passed Deseret Industries.There was a small line of people formed, I guess to get into the store,even though the doors were open. I waded through the people and continuedwalking towards the other store. I do not believe I intended to go intothe store; it was more like I was heading home, but cutting through thecomplex to make it. Rosie looked to Alex, who was again, trying to keep everybody calm.

It's gonna be all right," he put his hands on her shoulders.She spun around and threw her arms around him, crying. "Oh Alex, I'm so scared. What's going to happen to us?"Alex was caught off guard by her response, feeling uncomfortable he was.
