Summer Love Puppy: The Hart Family (Have A Hart Book 6)
Page 31
Hopefully they could get to the ballpark, and Mr. Hudson would be understanding. Luck had finally turned her way when she won the sweepstakes for a day at the ballpark. She had picked Ryan Hudson because he was always so cool and focused under pressure. Many times, with the fate of the game or a series hanging on a single pitch, he’d forced the batter to either swing and miss, or popup for an easy out.
She didn’t miss the fact that he was still single and had never been associated publicly with any one woman. He was easy on the eyes and built like a body builder. And at thirty-eight, he was hopefully done sowing wild oats and acting like a fraternity brat.
A woman could dream, couldn’t she? But she hadn’t had time to doll herself up, and face it, she was a single mom with two boys—one of them with special needs, and her life was twenty-four seven autism.
This day was for Ben and Drew, and like all special days were, it would all too soon be in the past—especially if Drew cut it short with an autistic meltdown.
