Bennett winked at her.
“What's up, Bennett? To what do we owe the pleasure of such a late house call?”
I turned back to him and smiled. I was just so happy to see him.
“What happened, Bennett? You look so happy. What's going on?”
There was excitement oozing off of every word when he said he had a story for me to write.
“What? What do you mean?” I couldn't have been more confused. It was my stories that seemed to be tearing us apart, so why would he want me to write another? If anything, I didn't want to write any more articles about him ever again. I hated the fact that I had to write them, so why on earth would he want me to write more?
“Baby, I have been exonerated.”
“What!”
Connie was getting up off the couch and had a smile on her face.
“It's true, you beautiful angel you. I just got the call, they found out what happened. They proved my innocence. The league found out that it was actually the other team's ball, so I'm off the hook. I'm not to blame anymore. My suspension has been lifted – I can go back to playing on the team. Isn't that great?”
I squealed with excitement. “Oh my God, Bennett, that is so amazing. Oh I'm so excited for you, that's great news.”
Connie came up to Bennett and hugged him, “That's really great news, Bennett. Congratulations, you deserve this. It was a shitty thing that happened to you and this is just great news.”
He smiled at her, “Thanks, Connie, I really appreciate that.”
He turned to me once again and hugged me tight. It was the best feeling in the world – it didn't get much better than that. The news was incredible, amazing even, and I couldn't believe the great news I was hearing. I was so happy for Bennett and Connie was right, he deserved this. Everything was going to be all right, I just knew it. I would write the best story ever to tell about his exoneration.
