"So, you know absolutely nothing about it?"

She did seem a bit surprised. Not only by your lack of knowledge but also because you went to her of all people to explain the sport to you. She was very passionate about football and seeing you paying attention to her rambling about her interest melted her heart. She didn't show it though as excitement tore through the initial expression of surprise.

"Of course I will explain it to you! We can start with the basics- or you can ask questions! Whichever you prefer!"

Her smile seemed to brighten up the room as she leaned forward a little, her attention on you and you only.
