"I didn't know what had happened to me, but ever since the night before, I hadn't been able to stop thinking about her. The thought of our hands touching while we were pretending to be interested in the movie, or the weird, quick gazes we had thrown each other, kept me up all night, leaving me fully awake in my bed, trying to stop thinking about her."
Christen has just joined the USWNT and is having a hard time fitting in; Tobin, on the other hand, has a hard time going out and socializing more with people. They find themselves attracted to one another, but for them it's also the first time falling for a woman: this will put a lot of obstacles on their way, which they can only overcome by trusting each other and believing in their love.
DISCLAIMER: English is not my first language, so I apologize for any mistake in this book. Also, I wrote this story months ago on my phone, so it's really basic and short, but I really wanted to share it with all of you.
Story in Tobin Heath's point of view.
When I look back when we first met I wouldn't have thought that we would end up here. We obviously had our differences. These differences kept us apart for a really long time. Actually, that's not true many things, kept us from being together, but they were all my fault. She was perfect and I was far from it. She always wanted to go back home and I didn't even have a home.
My team once said that I had one of the best smiles, but what most people on the team didn't know was that that smile was covering up how I really feel. The decisions I make now aren't just about me anymore. I see her sitting there a crossed from me in this hospital room and I know it's my fault.
