Omigod. I accidentally wrote football fic. And because Milochka told me to (and I pretty much worship her) I'm inflicting it on an unsuspecting public.
"So didja get my message?"
"Vig?"
"Yeah."
"No, sorry, didn't get a message from you. Machine must be acting up. What was the message then?"
"You haven't seen the pictures from Argentina?"
Snort. "Of you grazing on the playing field. Yeah, ya daft bastard. I saw them."
"God, Sean, you are just so damned. . . I give up. You know it? Fine."
"Me? What'd I do?"
"You said when I was ready to use language you could understand, that you were ready to hear it."
Long pause.
"Love you too, Vig."

They need to be together.
Amen, sister. TESTIFY!

What was he thinking?
In my experience, rabid sports fans rarely actually think when it comes to stuff like that *g*.

The Long pause is perfect... like Sean, I too needed the pause, as it took a minute to figure that out. Dawning awareness is such a good thing :-D
