My eyes meet Pen’s again the second I step out of the dugout, and from his expression alone, I know what he’s thinking. He wants to know if I’ll make good on the dare he gave me during our car ride to the stadium earlier. And while I can’t really guarantee my success with doubling on my first major league at-bat, I sure as hell plan to try. But he’s not the only one who’ll be tossing out dares today. Little does he know, I have the biggest dare of all to ask him later tonight. To let me love him, for the rest of our lives. Good thing, when it comes to dares, he always—always—says yes. THE END
