"Remind me again why the four of us couldn't ride together?" Killian asked when Emma had climbed into his truck.

The blonde rolled her eyes before she answered, "Because August had a book signing before the game."

"And Belle had to be there because?" he questioned as he looked at Emma. She shook her head before she told him, "Because she's... ugh. We've been over this, Killian."

"She's his girlfriend, and she wants to support him," he stated matter-of-factly.

"Then why are you making a big deal out of it?" the blonde exasperatedly questioned.

"Because she's still my younger sister," Killian answered with a sigh. Emma offered him a small smile before she reached over to squeeze his arm.

He glanced over at her and looked into stunning green eyes. He quickly looked back at the street before his heart got carried away.

He then asked her, "So, I take it that Belle and August are going to meet us at the stadium entrance?"

"You got it, Jones," Emma answered, and he grinned at the use of his last name. Her phone then beeped. When she had pulled it from her pocket, she told him, "That's Belle. August just dropped her off at her apartment to change, and then he'll come back to pick her up."

Killian looked at her once more and nodded before turning his attention back on the street. When he stopped at a red light, he noticed that Emma was messing with the baseball cap he was wearing.

"Love, what are you doing?" he confusedly asked.

"I'm fixing your cap so that I can see your eyes better," she answered before she placed her hands back in her lap. A moment later, her eyes widened at her admission, and she began nervously running her fingers in her hair.

Killian couldn't help but smile at her words before he grinned and teased, "It's alright, love. It's about time you admitted that you find me devishily handsome."

Emma only laughed and shook her head before she pointed out, "I was only talking about your eyes, Killian."

"Keep telling yourself that, Swan," he told her with a smirk, and Emma rolled her eyes at him in response.

"Livin' On a Prayer" then came on the radio, and the blonde began singing along. Killian grinned as he told her, "I have to say that I've missed that voice of yours, love."

"Killian, you do realize that it was only, like, a week that I didn't see you," she reminded him.

"A week too long, Swan," he admitted. Emma turned her gaze out the window as she ran her fingers through her hair while Killian mentally cursed himself.

He then told her, "That is, love, I've missed teasing you and receiving those famous Swan eye rolls."

Emma shook her head before she replied, "Well, you did once say that you enjoy seeing me flustered."

Killian grinned as he responded, "Indeed I do, Swan, especially since I believe I'm the only one who is capable of getting under your skin that much."

She rolled her eyes once more before she smacked him in the arm. He only chuckled as he pulled in Yankee Stadium.

When they had both gotten out of the truck, they made their way to a spot near the entrance to wait on Belle and August.

As they stood there, Emma kept pushing her hair out of her face before she complained, "Ugh. I knew I should have worn my hair in a ponytail. This wind is going to drive me crazy."
