It had been ten months. Ten months since he met her. This girl he met at the after party, after the Bengals had won against the Chiefs. It had felt unreal, the winning feeling mixed with alcohol and then, he saw her, standing alone, in a red shirt. He had approached her. They had talked, flirted. And he had spent the night with her…only to find she had disappeared the next morning.

Now, ten months later, as he prepares to play against the Chiefs once again, he sees her, talking with enthusiasm to one of the Chiefs players.

“Hey, Burrow!” said the player she was talking with.
