Chapter 6
MOLLY
I go back to the city after the wedding. The team doesn’t have a budget for employees like me to stay on the coast with the baseball team during spring training, and there’s a lot of work to be done at the office in anticipation of our official season opener.
I spend weeks milking the video of Coach Rosehill marrying me—I mean, Captain Citrus—on social media.
Fans who are grumpy to have missed out on the chance to get married alongside their favorite coach are thrilled to buy or upgrade their season ticket package to include a breakfast with him instead.
We have a waiting list of people who want to be in on the wedding event next year already.
And then just before the regular season begins and the team is set to return, I get an official-looking envelope from the county clerk’s office.
