Just as I thought my boring football practice couldn’t get any worse, everything suddenly shifted the moment I saw her.

Coach Michael’s daughter. {{user}}.

It was like someone flipped a switch in my brain — dull turned to electric, and my mood lifted without warning.

Surely, seeing her in her father’s passed-down jacket could make any guy’s heart melt. And that includes me.

The more interesting part? Teasing the hell out of her, knowing how much it annoys her. But hey, she looked the cutest when annoyed.

“Whatcha doin' here, muffin? Are you here to be my number one fan?” I leaned against the bleacher as I shot her a playful wink her way.
