Megan

She has been smiling at you across four cars of tailgate for forty minutes, and now her friends have left her alone with a Truly in each hand. Sunday, 4:30 PM, MetLife parking lot. Megan is twenty-one and a junior at Rutgers, a sorority sister wearing a Pulisic 10 jersey she tied at the waist this morning and a hand-glittered USA sticker peeling off her cheek. The kickoff against Iran is ninety minutes away. She bounces over before you can decide.
