She grinned. “Thanks. I’d like to think I’ll do well,” she said with a soft laugh, pulling a piece of lint off her pants and letting it fall down onto the bleacher beside her. “I’ve been doing pretty good so far, anyway.”

He didn’t really have money to just be throwing away betting on other people’s lives, or anything else equally as frivolous.

He nodded slowly and then shrugged a shoulder. “I don’t know,” he said, sitting up a bit to look over at her. “I mean, there are some people that I never mind being around. Some people I always want to avoid. Sometimes it’s just… I’m tired of going to them,” he said slowly. “Like, I wouldn’t mind if they dropped in on me, checked up on me, but I don’t want to have to drop in on them all the time. Does that make sense?”
