Chapter 13: Cal Chooses
"I'm not making him choose," Jesse said.
"Then what do you call it?" Cal asked.
"I call it his life."
Cal pushed his chair back and stood, and the legs scraped the floor.
"Fine. Then I'll say it plainly, because somebody has to."
He pointed at the missed call on the screen.
"Tell him to go back to Eastern. He listens to you."
Nate set his cup down. "Cal."
"No. You stay out of this one, Nate. You've done enough deciding for everybody."
Cal turned to Jesse again, and his eyes were wet.
"Eastern gave him a full scholarship and a lane at the trials. Halbrook gave him a pool with a leak in the ceiling."
"It doesn't leak," Nate said.
"It leaks in the corner of lane eight, and you know it."
Jesse almost laughed, and then he did not.
"You want me to send him away," he said.
