    Chapter One

 
    “God, I still can't believe it's over, that you are finally
free of that mess,” I said.
    Bennett put his arm around me and kissed me softly on the
lips. “I know. I find it hard to believe myself. There was a period there where
I really believed that I would never get to play baseball professionally
– it turns my stomach just thinking about it.” It totally turned my
stomach, as well, but I kept that thought to myself.
    We were all sitting on the couch in the living room, the
movie all but forgotten. It remained on pause while the three of us talked
together. It had been amazing to see Bennett at my door, heart in hand. I had
been beginning to think that our relationship was truly over. Who could blame
me? How much more could we survive being in the spotlight over and over again?
Considering my articles certainly hadn't helped the situation, it was a miracle
he showed up at my house at all.
    “I know, Bennett. It was really hard for both of us. I felt
so helpless through it all. I wish there was more I could have done.” I moved
in closer to him. I needed to feel close to him, I had missed him so much and
that connection between us had been missing.
    “I'm sorry I made you feel that way. I should have focused
more on you instead of the stress. It would have been pretty stupid if I had
lost baseball and you. It's just hard for me...it's my dream. I thought I was
losing everything I had worked so hard for.”
    Connie smiled, nodding her head.
    I was glad to have her there, as well. It was good for her
to see that side of Bennett because she had only seen the bad side – the
side she felt wasn't good enough for me. She had been trying to get me to back
off from him for so long, and I almost did at one point. It was good for her to
see him feeling bad about how he acted.
    “Well, maybe now you guys can finally get things back on
track,” she said with a smile.
    I smiled. “That is my thought exactly. I can't wait to do
exactly that.”
    Bennett smiled back at me. “I just knew it wasn't my ball,
ya know. But there it was and suddenly I'm being accused of something that I
never did. It was all just so crazy.”
    I put my hand on his knee. “It's pretty messed up –
something that no one should have to experience ever.”
    “I'm not completely clear on all that happened. My coach was
pretty vague about the details. I'm just glad I was proven innocent and all the
haters can leave me alone for awhile.”
    “There will always be haters, Bennett,” I said with a laugh.
“You just need to forget they exist and focus on yourself. That's life in the
limelight, so you might as well get used to it.”
    “Very true and I would like to focus on you, as well.” He
leaned in and kissed me on the mouth. I lingered in that kiss before I slipped
my tongue into his mouth to meet his.
    Connie cleared her throat. “I think that's my cue to get up
and get some more drinks. Would you like anything Bennett?”
    “Sure, I will have whatever you guys are having.”
    “Wine it is, then.” She left us on the couch and went to get
another bottle of wine. Bennett leaned in and kissed me softly on the mouth
again. My body hummed every time our lips touched. I wanted to cry I was so
happy to have him there, in a good mood, all his worries gone. He was very
lucky. It could have easily gone the other way and then what would he do
