"What happened today?" My dad looked up from his food.
"What do you mean? It wasn't that bad." I knew he was talking about pitching.
"Not that bad isn't good enough. You're on varsity for a reason, I need you to do better than not that bad." Both of us were on edge and it was obvious.
"The season has barely even started, Dad, everyone is rusty."
"This isn't rusty, this is not caring." He raised his voice.
"You think I don't care? This is my senior year, of course I care." I raised mine.
"You're not showing me that. You have to do better, or there's gonna be a nice seat for you on the bench all season."
"Well I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry I can't be Brayden!"

Maid For Beckett, Catching The Baseball Legend's Heart
Andi If this arrogant baseball legend thinks he can make me resign from this job, he's in for a massive disappointment. I don't care about his career or who he was; all I care about is providing medical care for my mom and giving my brother a better life. If only he knew, I despise the game, I hate the players, including him. Beckett She's supposed to give up in the first week, and she's supposed to go packing her bags, taking the long road out of the estate in tears. But here she was, still making me breakfast before I woke up and preparing dinner before I came home. To be honest, her cooking was better than most restaurants I had been to. She hates baseball; she hates the players, and she doesn't even hide how much she hates my guts, and that fascinated me. Every maid that came before her was all over me and my business, but Andi... she doesn't care about who I am, and that needs to stay that way for her own safety.
