“Thank you for being willing to coach for me this week,” Kevin said. “I really appreciate it.”

“Of course,” I answered. “It will be fun to be around the game again. And I’ll just be assisting right? The other guy will take on all of the head coaching duties?”

Kevin nodded. “Yes, he’ll cover all of the rest of that, but you’ll be there to help coach first base, and just with whatever needs to be done.”

“Perfect,” I said.

Kevin had a last-minute work trip that he needed to take, and he had asked me to help cover the baseball team for him while he was gone. We had gone out for coffee so he could give me the equipment I would need, and fill me in on all the little details. I knew that I owed him one after he had gone to the fundraiser and helped out, but I was also really looking forward to coaching.

I was so thankful that I was able to get back around the game, and that I didn’t feel any of the anger or bitterness that I used to feel about it. As I thought about it, Jenna’s face popped into my mind, and I knew that talking to her had really helped me process through everything.

The next day at work, I could hardly focus on anything because I was so excited for the game that night. I knew it was silly, and that it was just a youth baseball game, but I also felt that it was a huge step for me.

Finally, realizing that I wasn’t going to get anything done in the office, I decided to leave early so I could get ready for the game and get to the ballpark early. I shut everything down, and stopped by Jenna’s office on my way out.

I knocked on her door, and she looked up at me with a curious expression on her face. She nodded her head, indicating that I could come in.

“Hey,” I said, walking into her office. “I’m heading out.”

Jenna looked at her watch, and I knew that she wasn’t going to be leaving for another hour.

“Is the game earlier than I thought?” she asked.

I shook my head. “No,” I said feeling a bit embarrassed. “I am just super excited for it so I’m going to head out early.”

Jenna smiled, and the expression on her face made my heart pound. Once again, I found myself, wishing that she wasn’t one of my employees. I also knew that if she didn’t work for me I wouldn’t know her, which would be terrible.

“That’s awesome,” she said. “

I shrugged my shoulders. “What can I say? I love the game.”

“There’s nothing you need to say. I think it’s great. I will be heading out in an hour, but I’ll see you down there. Tyler is so excited to have you coaching him tonight. It is all that he has been able to talk about ever since he found out.”

I had been able to work with Tyler on pitching a couple times, and he was a great kid.
