It’s my face that’s going red now. Didn’t I already forgive you? I might ask. Is this really necessary? Someone in the crowd shouts, “Forgive him!” Someone else demands Chad give them all a dance, which inspires an eruption of laughter. I hear Mindy shout something from behind us. I hear Tanner or Kirk exclaim, “Don’t forgive him! Let him stand there for a while ‘til you decide!” followed by more laughter. Chad and I stare at each other, ignoring the heckling.
