o n e ✺ sunrise in st. pete
"Good morning, lil' sis."
My older brother, Richie waved to me.
"Morning to you too."
I look out the window and watch the St. Pete sunrise. It was always beautiful.
"I wonder why you guys are called the Tampa Bay Rays if you play in St. Petersburg?" I walk over to the island, where Richie is cooking pancakes.
"Because we're in the Tampa area. We may play in St. Pete, but we represent Tampa and the surrounding area."
"Gotcha." I hear my phone buzz.
Wil 🙊⚾

I reply back quickly. It was my best friend, San Diego Padres right fielder Wil Myers.
Me (Rease Shaffer 💕)

Wil 🙊⚾

Love u too lil sis. Tell Richie Rich I said hi 👋
Me (Rease Shaffer 💕)
"Wil" do 😂😂
I turn off my phone and focus on my pancakes.
"Wil said to tell you hi."
"Okay. I'll text the buttmunch later. What are you gonna do today?"
"No idea."
"Well, Rease, you gotta get out and do something. You're not in North Carolina anymore."
"Right, of course."
"And do you plan on living with me when you go to South Florida?"
"Yeah, probably."
"Alright. Look, I gotta go. And you, sister, gotta step outta this house. If you need anything, however, you're always welcome at the Trop. We'd love to see you." Richie grabbed his keys, then waved goodbye.
I twiddle my phone in my hands. There was at least something I could go do.
