It wasn’t a firm proposal, though Klineman had her yes all prepared (“Of course I’m gonna play with you, like, you’re better than me. I was just starting on the beach at the time”), but it was a strong maaaaaaaybe.
“She’s like, ‘I mean, not right now, like, you need to keep working, keep getting better but maybe eventually we could play together or something,'” noted Klineman. “I remember the next day I was like, ’Did I have too much to drink? Am I imagining this really happened?'”
