I was too proud to accept that there’s a possibility that I’d never play baseball again. It’s something I find hard to accept. It happens. Injury was part of this line of work, but I refuse to back down from this predicament Except for Doc. I never told anyone about this. Not even Jace.

But with Andi, the words that I refused to murmur to anyone rolled out of my mouth like honey. And I can’t believe I just did that.

Was this the afterglow of having sex with her? Is this what I could call my wife’s effect on me? How will she look at me after knowing I am human too, that I get hurt and injured?

“Hey,” she scooted towards me, wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her face in the crook of my neck.

We were still naked for fuck’s sake. What was I thinking, telling her about my problems? She’s got her own problems, too

“Thank you…” she murmured, her breath warm on my skin.

My chuckle was tentative and confused. “For what?”

‘For telling me,” she murmured, I felt her body loosening around me, as though she was slowly relaxing as she embraced me. “I know that must be hard, Beckett.”

If only she knew how I tried to hide this from everyone for so long. She’s the first one to know about it, and I’m glad I told her first. Her reaction made everything light and easy. She gets me, even when she doesn’t know the depth of the real story.

She pulled away, her gaze was soft and worried. “Why don’t we have dinner, then you can tell me more?”

My laugh was real and hearty. “Maybe we should get dressed first, huh?”

She giggled. It was the sound that made the entire estate come to life. This felt more like a home when she was around.

stood up and grabbed her hand, dragging her towards the kitchen where we had discarded our clothes. Then Andi started o fix our dinner on the dining table, and I watched her, mesmerised at how lucky I am to be married to this woman.

she moved around the kitchen with the finesse of a fine dining chef. And she prepared my food before me with a smile on her lips. These were the small things that made me fall for her. Her genuine kindness, her real heart, and how she cares for he people around her.

‘Let’s eat,” she said, sitting down on the chair in front of me, urging me to eat.

‘You know I love you,” I blurted out.

She blinked at me with those big blue eyes, stunned. “I know.”

I smiled, picked up my spoon and fork, staring at the food on my plate, appreciating these little moments. Before I met Andi, I was all about the big strike outs, the win and the roar of the fans I had never appreciated the small things like having a home, food on the table, and a privileged life. Andi made me realise how lucky I am without even trying

“I love you, too,” she added, cheeks starting to turn red as she started to roll the pasta with her fork, taking a huge bite “All of your attitudes and mood swings.”

I laughed. It was the sound that was foreign to my ears. I don’t think anyone else can make me laugh as And: does. Plus she s the only one who can call me out on my manners and still be alive.
