I just wanted to play for my country.

Brooklyn Heights itself is a window on the port.

When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn’t need to be a good reason.

But in the haze of infatuation, it’s just what you’ve been searching for all these years.
