Ryan understands contact sports.
He plays football.
So when Tall Girl mentions that Benedictine women’s rugby is playing today, he has the game figured out almost immediately.
“That’s basically football.”
Running. Passing. Tackling.
Then Jake mentions one detail.
“No pads.”
Ryan pauses.
“No pads?”
And it gets worse.
“No helmet either.”
Ryan has only one reasonable question:
“On purpose?”
