Helping Marcus get back to bowling

First session. Marcus was upfront that he'd rather stay home — fair enough, we didn't push. Sat on the porch for twenty minutes and talked about his old football team instead.

Short trip today: coffee two streets over. No drama. He picked the café, which felt like a win in itself.

Walked around the block after coffee. He mentioned, almost in passing, that he used to bowl as a teenager.

Booked a lane for next week before I could second-guess it. He pretended not to be excited. He was excited.

Bowling is now the one appointment he never wants to move. Beat me by forty pins today and will not let it go.
