How it started

First comes a crime scene, then comes softball

Working in news is weird right? Joe and Haley met at a crime scene, specifically during a police standoff. Joe was playing photog for the day for his coworker after working an entire morning shift. Haley was throwing dry shampoo in her hair while sitting in her news car because she woke up late for her shift. Makes sense. It was a boring day filled with standing around waiting for someone to tell us something, about 2 miles from the actual scene. Typical. Joe didn't talk to Haley at all but the coworker will tell you Joe was interested. He even says Haley was the reason Joe joined the KBOI/KTVB beer league softball team, a fact Joe still denies. Fast forward a few months to the first day of softball. Haley shows up at the park and sits down in the dugout at an empty field with 2 tallboy PBRs in her bag (a beer she has never consumed by choice but it's what her roommate had to offer). And like a scene from a movie, Joe comes walking from across the field. As they sit together in the dugout wondering where everybody is, Haley offers Joe a beer. PBR. "My favorite," says Joe. So they sit there talking and laughing, like idiots they almost miss the start of the game because they were the only ones at the wrong field. Neither of them believed in fate, but this was a moment. And that moment was just the beginning of many more.
