“I’m watching, I’m watching.” Jake came out of his reverie.

“Not at the game, at the stands.” Pam pointed across the court. “Look over there. Do you see what I see? Third row up, in the pink ball cap, with the white tank top. Isn’t that Sabrina?”

“Yes.” Jake nodded, matter-of-factly.

“What’s she doing here? Is something going on between her and Ryan?”

“Well, he was worried she friend-zoned him, but he’s taking her out tonight. It’s their first date but she texts him constantly from Friends Central camp, where she’s a counselor-in-training. She writes funny texts and he likes that—”

“Wait. How doyouknow all this?” Pam looked at him, wide-eyed.

“I’mballer,honey. I’m ballerG.”

“What?” Pam burst into laughter, and Jake wrapped his arms around her, kissing her forehead and catching a scent of her gardenia perfume. His wife was the most wonderful woman he had ever known, and he felt so grateful to be her Husband Material.

Just my luck.
