She was raised in a house full of Mets fans and even though she doesn’t have a particular liking of baseball, she calls herself a Mets fan and hates the Yankees out of principle rather than reason. She takes her father to at least one game a season and listens to him go on and on about player stats and rumored trades and explains the in-field fly rule to her for the thousandth time and she has the time of her life.
This year, not for the first time, their game is rained out and when she finally gets home after dropping off her father, she’s finally started to dry off somewhat. But because she hates soggy clothes with a passion, she locks her door and then strips down right there in the entryway of her apartment.
She hears movement in the apartment and looks up as he stops short and stares at her, his mouth hanging open. With a smile, she picks up her sodden clothing and slips past him towards the laundry nook and the bedroom and dry clothes. When she comes into the living room a few minutes later, he’s slouched down on the couch with a beer in hand, watching the Yankees wallop the Tigers. She sits down next to him and he promptly puts his arm around her and pulls her close and offers to change the channel if there’s something else she wants to watch.
She just shakes her head and snuggles deeper into his embrace and smiles when he eventually starts talking about player stats and rumored trades and explains the in-field fly rule to her and she is selfishly glad that the Mets game got rained out, even if she does hate the Yankees.
