A lovely, heartwarming story of a man who was so focused on his career
that there was only one woman in the world who could distract him from
it in the best way possible.
Mac Klein had made a series of disciplined life choices. He was now
thirty years old and a successful professional athlete. He lived in a
beautiful mansion in Seattle with plenty of room to surround himself
with family and friends. He devoted all his time and energy to his
career, and he had no interest in starting a serious relationship with a
woman.
He certainly would never think of looking up his childhood crush on
social media so he could contact her in an effort to reconnect. Mac
would never do that. He wasn't even the social media type. His sister,
Katie, was, but she wouldn't do something as bold as reaching out to
Morgan Lake on his behalf (and without his permission).
Or maybe she would. After all, sometimes a little family interference
was necessary when love was on the line. Mac and Morgan first met nearly
20 years earlier in Nebraska. Morgan's father was the head coach at the
college Mac's uncle was playing at. The two would play together on the
sidelines when Mac's family came to visit. There were hints of a
connection even back then, but age and distance prevented anything from
developing.
Mac became a successful athlete in the NFL. Morgan had been married to
another star NFL player, but he tragically passed, leaving her the
single mother of a young girl. Mac was too focused on his career to ever
consider a relationship, but thankfully his sister was pushy enough to
set the wheels in motion. When Mac and Morgan finally reconnect, the
embers of those childhood flames quickly grow into a romance that was
truly destined to happen.
