GIA: I always had a crush on Boyd Kelly, star baseball player and our high school’s answer to Brad Pitt. He was too popular and important back then to notice little old me, so I pined from a distance. The only time he ever spoke to me was right before he left for college. He told me I was pretty and sweet, and not to sell myself short. It made an impression on me. I’ve held out for a guy who loves me for who I am. Now that Boyd’s given up his baseball career, he’s back in town. I can’t help pining from a distance again. BOYD: Major League Baseball was tougher than I ever thought it would be. It’s time to hang up my bat and glove, unless it’s to coach rec league. I’m okay with that. I’m back home, in the town I love. And when I see Gia Barrett’s still here, prettier than ever? I think I’m going to take my shot. Will she give me a chance?
