Today was the last day of the season. We won the other two games already and went for the sweep today. The best part of all? It was against the Cubs.

"Heeeeeey babaaaaaaaay." I chuckled looking up from my laptop.

"Hi honey."

"Are you ready for today?"

"I'm pumped. We get to keep playing after this."

"The only difference is you're here now."

"Mhmmmmm."

"Well I just wanted to say hi. I'll see you later then. I love you." He leaned over and kissed me.

"I love you too."

For the next eight years he'd be doing that. Coming and finding me just to say hi because he wanted to see me. I couldn't wait for that.

-

I sat bent over with my face in my hands in the bottom of the six inning.

"There is no way he's doing this again I swear to god. I don't have anything else to say about him."

"Is it just a triple again?" Steve asked.

"Yes."

I started nervously playing with my ring. No one had any words left for him this year. No one.

"I swear to god if he hits a," Miller Park went silent. "HOW DOES HE DO THIS?"

He stood there at third, shaking his head and shrugged his shoulders. We somehow made eye contact and he just held his hands up. He didn't know either.

A fourth triple, in three years. The second this year, again. But this time, off the Cubs.

-

"I feel like we've done this too often this year." We both laughed. "Christian this is your fourth cycle, your second one this year, and second at home all within three years of each other. This one coming on closing day, against the Brewers biggest rival the Chicago Cubs. No one really knows what else to say about you this year but, how?"

"Honestly I don't know." He laughed again. "I really don't know. I wish I did but even I'm surprised."

"This cycle helped secure the final win and sweep of the season. Now you guys are on to the post season, what's the mentality going in?"

"Staying optimistic. Keeping the mood light and happy. Just focusing on the game in front of us and not worrying about the past or future. But, hopefully we can finish this out right this year."

"Thanks Christian, good luck in the post season." He patted my back as he walked away. "Brewers fans it's been an incredible season but there's more where that came from coming very soon so stay tuned. We'll see you next year."

-

I was in my office packing my bag when I heard one drop behind me.

"Hey babe I'll be done in a sec."

"Uh it's Jacob." I turned around.

"Oh, uh sorry. What's up?" He looked like he was about to cry. "Are you okay?" He walked forward and just hugged me. It took me a second, but I hugged him back.

"I'm sorry. I know this took a while but I'm sorry. I'm not asking for you to forgive me or anything because honestly you shouldn't. But I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, clearly, and I didn't listen to what anyone told me. Maybe it was for the better because now you're happy, I don't know. But I'm sorry. I miss your laugh and the jokes we'd tell all the time and how close we were before we even dated. I don't expect us to be friends or anything but if down the road we get along again somehow I'd like that. And you know maybe one day you can meet Delilah. But I wish you and Christian the best. You deserve to be happy." And because I couldn't be mad at anyone too long, my dumbass forgave him.
