Erin knew her sister was right, but she also didn’t know what to do about it. She couldn’t silence the voices in her head telling her no one would ever stay. “I know. I just… I think I’m broken.”

“You know the best part about things that are broken?” When Erin shook her head, her sister poked her in the chest. “They can be fixed.”

April grabbed the water bottle out of her car and a comfortable silence settled between the two of them as they walked back toward the softball field. Thank god. Erin wasn’t in the mood for any more lectures, even if they were completely warranted.

As they got closer to the bleachers, Erin spotted Blair at the exact moment Blair noticed her. Blair’s face lit up as she held two plastic bags in the air. “Guess what I got?”

Seeing as how they were at a softball tournament and not the mall, Erin had literally no idea. “A bunch of hot dogs?”

“Nope.” Blair pulled three T-shirts out of one of the bags, one by one. “Tournament T-shirts. They have all the players’ names listed on the back! How cool is that? Also,” she pulled a hat out of the other bag and put it on her head, then pointed to it proudly. “I got hats for you and I that Sydney’s team was selling.”

“Wow. That’s awesome,” Erin said, trying to muster up as much excitement as possible. She could see Blair was clearly very proud of herself. The shirts and hats might not have been anything special, but Blair being this excited over them was fucking adorable.

“I know, right?” Blair picked up Nolan and rested his body against her hip. “I’m going to take Nolan to the bathroom so we can change into these. Feel free to join us if you want to put yours on too.” Blair pretty much skipped away before Erin could answer.

“Okay, that’s it,” April whispered in her ear as they both watched Blair go. “If you don’t date that girl, I might.”

After a day full of softball and Nolan asking when they were leaving, they were finally back in the car. “So, anything I need to know about your hometown before we get there?” Blair asked, sounding just as excited as she had been hours before.

Does this girl ever get tired? Erin shook her head. “Not really. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a small town in the middle of Pennsylvania. Not much to it.”

“Awesome. Can’t wait,” Blair said, bouncing in her seat as if she was going to Disney World for the first time.

Erin couldn’t help but laugh at her. “Why are you so excited? I just told you there was nothing to it.”
