The One I Want

<p>As a professional football player I had a playbook for everything on the field.</p><p>Then I retired and found out there's no playbook for life-especially when the one you thought was perfect gets flipped upside down.</p><p>There's no play for suddenly becoming a divorced single dad. There's no plan for moving your family back to the town you grew up in.</p><p>And there is definitely not a play for falling in love with the nanny.</p><p>I didn't mean to. Betsy Sullivan just has that way about her.</p><p>It started with wanting to see her smile. It grew to needing to hear her laugh.</p><p>Before I knew it her red lips and perfect curves were all I could think about. And I started to picture a life together - a perfect life together.</p><p>Except nothing is ever perfect. Nothing is how you envision it. I learned that hard lesson once already.</p><p>And if I'm not careful I might find myself learning it again.</p><p>I shouldn't want her. My head knows that. My heart doesn't seem to care.</p>
