Chapter 50 : The Ninth Inning

*Jane*

I knew that Noah was going to be picked.

There was never a doubt in my mind, even if I could tell that he was beginning to question. But when the announcer called out his name, inviting him onto the stage, I couldn’t contain my happiness and excitement.

I watched as Noah walked up, and received the Yankees hat. I watched as he shook hands with who I knew were very important people. I watched as he stood for photos and I’m watching now as he speaks to the press, all vying for information on this new rising star and his plans for the future.

It fills me with such a feeling of pride and contentment, watching all of this. And I truly am so happy for him. But …

There’s a small, nagging part of my brain that can’t help but ask the question … What now?

What truly is next for Noah and me?
