She just grinned. “Oh admit it, you're going to miss me around here after I graduate this year, Red.”
I chuckled again and shook her hand, “Well hi there June. Though I am quite fond of that Hank name, you can just call me Sam.”
The way she held herself... reminded me so much of... oh! “June, you look so much like Mandy...”
She interrupted while rolling her eyes. “Yes, yes, she's my mom. Enough of that Hank, let's show you the wonders of the Academy, or what passes for wonders here.”
I chuckled again, this woman was hilarious. I do remember my parents telling me Mandy Harris had a daughter, but I had never met her on any of the trips we made down to Vancouver, Washington from Seattle. I started walking with her, then stopped and returned back quickly to the booth. “Thank you Brent. Maybe I'll see you around campus or at a party sometime?”
His lopsided smile grew on his face and he just nodded and kept nodding as June grabbed my elbow and guided me away and toward Schubert Hall. She whispered through a chuckle, “Oh my, I think you just broke the poor boy, Sam.”
I smiled back at her. “What? He's bloody cute don't you think?”
She looked back and then at me with a conspiratorial grin. “You and I are probably the only ones who would admit to that, but yeah, Red has something special. He'll make some girl a fine catch one day.”
She tilted her head then said, “Anyone ever tell you that you have an infectious smile?”
Now it was my turn to blush. “A time or two.”
“Ah ha! You're just as blush-y as Red! You're almost too easy!”
I retorted, “I am not!”
She shook her head in victory with a sly smile. “Whatever Hank. Let's go see your personal slice of hell for the next four years of your life, shall we?”
