“Childhood sweethearts” really is a thing.

In the fifth grade, we went to different schools but played in the same baseball summer little league. He was the pitcher, I was first base, and no, I did not throw like a girl.

I made the first move. In the days of corded phones and landlines, I put my twin brother to work.

Preston: Will you go out with Paige?

Riley: Go where, like to Pizza Hut?

Preston: No... like boyfriend/girlfriend thing.

Riley: So no to Pizza Hut then...

I should have known at that moment, a life with him was going to revolve around where and what we were going to eat. Every anniversary from here on out, might just have to be to the Pizza Hut.
