Perfect Pitch

BLAKE

I made a deal with the devil to save the man I love.

Now I'm home. My arm is healing. My team is in first place. And every night he falls asleep beside me believing his uncle simply decided to forgive him.

He can never know what I swore.

All I have to do is fight my way back to the mound by October. Ride this season all the way to the World Series. And then, on the biggest night of my life, in front of the whole world, lose it.

Lying to him is the only way he lives. I finally understand why he lied to me.

ARKAD

My uncle smiled at me across his fish pond and called it mercy.

My uncle has never been merciful in his life.

The boy came home different. He kisses me like he's saying goodbye. He throws like he's angry at the ball. He looks at me across my own table with a secret in his mouth.

I know every tell he has. I'm the one who taught him how to lie.

For once in my life, I'm going to have to let someone else make the move. Even if it costs me everything.
