Greta's first love.
Carson's face was buried in Greta's neck with her arms snaked around her back, thrusting softly into her. Greta was digging her nails into Carson's back as she sank her teeth into her shoulder. They were both sweaty and moaning as Carson was inside of Greta. It was a tender moment that began with the telling of Greta's first love, Dana. After hearing her story, Carson did everything she could to help comfort her girlfriend. She did everything that could show the woman she loved that she deserved all the happiness in the world and then some.

Greta and Dana met in college in New York the summer going into their junior year and hit it off almost immediately. Their senior year they moved in with each other and started to talk about the future. Dana had received a coaching job in Chicago and asked Greta to come with her. Greta was able to find a job working with a cosmetics company as an office assistant.
They were happy and even started to talk about getting married.
How they could get a house in a suburb.
How they could have kids one day.
They were happy until Dana started to change.
She told Greta that she didn't need to come to every game she coached, that it was starting to throw off her concentration. Sex started to become quick and felt like a one-night stand some nights. There was no emotion. No love.
Dana became distant and didn't show any excitement when Greta came home with the news of a promotion with the cosmetics company after sharing some ideas. Her response was that she had a conference she was supposed to attend on the university's behalf with some of the other staff. Greta offered to take her to the airport but she declined, calling an Uber. When she went to kiss her goodbye, Dana dodged the kiss so that it was placed on her cheek.
Greta would FaceTime Dana and would either get 5 minutes or be declined.
When Dana came home she was a different person. She seemed to brighten up but was still distant when it came to showing affection to Greta.
She came home after a full day of meetings and saw 2 suitcases and Dana's backpack sitting by the door. She walked into the kitchen and saw Dana smiling at her phone.
"Um, what's with..." Dana cut her off putting her phone in her pocket.
"I'm moving. To Arizona. I've received a great coaching job at one of the universities and I would be stupid not to take it."
"Oh. When are we..." She was cut off again.
"Well, the thing is, I'M moving. Not us. It's been on my mind awhile now and I think it's only fair to tell you the truth. I'm not in love with you anymore. I've been feeling this way for a while now and I just need to move on with my life." There was no sense of emotion behind her words and it sounded like she had rehearsed multiple times. "I met someone in Arizona and they're gonna come help me pack and move down there. She's coming this weekend."
Greta couldn't believe it. Dana mentioned that she was going to stay in a hotel until Saturday but come pack during the day.
Greta’s best fried Jo lived a little outside Chicago and told her that one of her friends is looking for a new roommate in Rockford. Dana and Greta’s lease was about up so she agreed.
Jo came to help Greta pack up her stuff as soon as Dana left. Greta was able to hold herself together but as soon as she got to Jo’s she collapsed on the floor and didn’t stop crying for months.
Greta was able to find a job with Vivianne Hughes and did very well.
Jo works for an athletic wear company who sponsors Carson Saw, #10 of the Rockford Peaches. Jo would take her to baseball games and Greta fell in love with the sport. And eventually, Carson Shaw.

Greta had tears in her eyes sharing this with Carson. The conversation started when the Peaches were invited to a conference in Ohio. Greta felt like she was overreacting but Carson was there for her and promised to call every chance she had. She even made a joke about getting those earpieces that Pam and Jim had from The Office.
“I love you Greta. I’m IN love with you. I can’t imagine being with anybody else. I actually, I mean, I guess this is as good as any other time, but I was gonna ask if you’d like to move in with me.” They had been together for over a year. Greta nodded as she embraced Carson and pushed her tongue into Carson's mouth, starting a full night of love making.
