β¦ Synopsis
Can you pinpoint a time in your life where you realized you are completely and utterly screwed?
I can. I got the dreaded phone call, the one every baseball player hopes and prays never comes.
I was traded. Yeah, that phone call.
Traded from my long time team of over ten years. And not just to any team, but my childhood rivals; the Chicago Rebels.
Completely and utterly screwed, right? Wrong. The trade was the least of my concerns.
I met a girl. Natalie. Man, sheβs perfect.
I swore I would never get involved with anyone during the season. Too complicated. But can you believe I have zero restraint when it comes to this girl? I couldnβt get her out of my head and the more I talked to her, the more I realized I needed her in my life.
So whatβs the problem? Why am I screwed? Because, Natalie, the girl I canβt stop crushing on, yeah . . . sheβs married.
At least, thatβs what I was told . . .
