House hugged the net while Wilson stood at the service line, guiding tennis balls to him in a gentle, under-handed serve that eliminated running.
“Having fun?” Wilson asked.
“Happy fucking spring to you, too.”
“You’re just - oh, God!”
Fetal position. Ground. Wonderful.
“Wrong balls,” Wilson groaned, hands cupping the target of House’s volley.
“You told me to hit the ball,” House quipped.
“This was a let’s-enjoy-the-coming-of-spring day, not let’s-render-Wilson-impotent day.”
“Please, you’ll be springing back up in no time.” House extended his racket to Wilson, helping him to his feet. “Take five, Federer - but don’t forget to gather your balls.”
