Prologue
2012
Tobin remembers the first time the green-eyed forward was called in to camp. She was older than the other call ups, and her experience showed. It was the reason she made it to the Olympics without ever being capped.
2013
Tobin remembers Christen's first cap. Press scored the first goal, an absolute beauty from the top of the box just 13 minutes in. Tobin remembers the forward's brilliant smile as she jumped into Cheney's arms. Then, Press scored the second goal, a header off a cross from Tobin. And Tobin's heart swelled. But Christen wasn't done yet, scoring 6 goals in 7 games. Tobin couldn't remember another player who had made such a splash at the beginning of their career.
2014
Tobin remembers the CONCACAF semifinal against Mexico. Christen scored the third goal and immediately ran to Tobin. She picked her up and spun her around, both women sporting huge grins. With Press' goal, the US had all but sealed its ticket to the World Cup the next summer.
2015
As the gals begin to prepare for the World Cup, everything gets more intense. They're spending more time together for training. Tobin notices the lingering touches and secret glances shared between her and the younger forward. But with the World Cup fast approaching, neither dares to act on their feelings.
