And Scout doesn’t seem to care, which surprises me even more. “You can have her, Moose,” he tells me while we’re warming ...up for our lunch game. “She’s more trouble than she’s worth.” “Oh, great,” I say. “Gee, thanks.” “I think she’s googly-eyed for you, anyway,” he says. “No, she isn’t,” I tell him. Scout nods his head. “You like her too, and you know it.” “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I tell him. It isn’t possible to like someone I dislike as much as Piper.
