It was the ninth inning and Bryant's team was down by two. Runners were on first and second base and Bryant was up to bat. He could tie the game, maybe even win it if he got a good hit. Bryant stared down the pitcher with a cold steel gaze as the ball floated from his hand. Everything seemed to move in slow motion. Bryant twirled awkwardly. He swung the bat and somehow hit the ball with the bottom of the handle. The ball gently bounced away from Bryant and landed directly in the third baseman's mitt. This caused a force out. The third baseman tossed it to the second basemen, causing a second force out. He threw it to first, and Bryant was responsible for a triple play. As the players lined up to exchange handshakes at the end of the game, the pitcher stared coolly at Bryant. They shook hands, and the pitcher said, "Nice hit, Champ. Way to get a hold of it." Bryant had never felt more embarrassed.

Cassie was unhappy in her relationship with Richard. There wasn't anything wrong with him. He did cut her off occasionally while she was trying to speak, but he was generally a good guy. She just wanted something different. She decided that tonight she would break up with Richard. When he arrived at her house, she wanted to talk with him about it, but he rushed her out the door. "No time to talk now, Babe," he said. "We're late for our dinner reservations." She figured that she would tell him at the restaurant, near the end of the meal. She would even offer to pay. So they enjoyed a delicious meal together. Then, right before dessert, Cassie opened her mouth to let out the fatal words. "Richard..." she began, but Richard broke in, "Oh, Babe, I got a surprise for you." He pulled a small white envelope from his pocket. "Two front row tickets to see your favorite band, The Mountain Boys!" Cassie's mouth dropped. She loved the Mountain Boys. Richard backpedaled, "I'm sorry that I cut you off again. What was it that you wanted to tell me?" Cassie looked down at the piece of cake in front of her and replied, "Oh, I forgot. Nothing important."
