The drive to the San Francisco ballpark took about an hour and a half with only the Bay Bridge traffic slowing them down. On the way, Cole entertained Maggie with tales from the road. He'd definitely been a lot of interesting places over the past few years, and he had met some crazy people. One thing she was beginning to realize about Cole was that he'd didn't just travel and observe; he participated. He talked to people because he was genuinely interested in their lives.

"You have something in common with your aunt," she said, as they drove into the parking lot at the ballpark.

"What's that?"

"You like to get to know people for who they are. She always makes a point of talking to the staff, asking them questions, learning about their families. It makes her feel like a friend, not just a boss, and you do the same thing."

"I didn't for a long time. I was caught up in spreadsheets and profit and loss estimations. The part I enjoyed most about being a venture capitalist was being able to make someone's dream a reality, but that was about fifteen percent of my job, and the rest was cold-blooded analysis. Although I rose high within the firm, I didn't have the final say, and sometimes the people I wanted to fund I couldn't."

"That must have been disappointing."

"It's always disappointing when you can't convince someone of your point of view."

"Very true. Looks like a big crowd," she added, as she slowly maneuvered her way through the crowded lot.

"Big game today," he said, a light of excitement in his eyes.

"You look pretty happy to be here."

"There's nothing better than a playoff game. Do you know Kingsley pretty well?"

"Well enough. He's a great guy, very down-to-earth, not at all cocky. And he treats Julie like she's gold. I'm so glad they found each other. It was a little rough at first, because Julie's dad was a ballplayer and he wasn't a great family man, so Julie wasn't sure she wanted to give Matt a chance. But he persuaded her to do so, and they're getting married in December. I will be a bridesmaid for the fourth time in a year and a half."

"Seriously? That's a lot."

"And there's no end in sight. One of my other friends, Isabella, just got engaged, so that will be number five. I don't think she's set a date yet, but it will probably be around Valentine's Day. I was part of a really close group of friends in college. We met freshman year in the dorms. After graduation, we vowed that we would stay in touch, and no matter where we were, we'd stand up for each other in our weddings."

"How many are in the group?"

"Eight including me, so that will be seven bridesmaids dresses."

"Hope you're saving some of your paychecks for weddings."

"I am. It does get expensive, but I love my friends. I want to be there for them on an important day in their lives. You'll get to meet a couple of them today.
