My scent-matches Cy, Griff, and Jackson, the team's most sinfully charming players, crashed right into my life. Unfortunately, I couldn't exactly run across the field to home plate to get their number.

When a storm throws us all together with no escape, I realize that they aren't at all like the boys I remember. They've changed in so many ways, and so have I.
