The Wednesday Play: Leap of Faith

Sponsored by

Hi Playmakers,

Fourteen years ago, I met my husband after the greatest pickup line of all time.

I was a broke college student, fresh off a weekend in Florida where I’d met a guy in a yellow Abercrombie shirt who walked up to me and said, “Hi, I’m Pavle. What’s your name?”

“Jennifer,” I told him. “But my friends call me Jen. Only my family calls me Jenny.”

He didn’t miss a beat. “Okay, Jenny. Nice to meet you.”

It was subtle but smooth. The kind of line you only catch in hindsight. A quiet way of saying, one day, we’ll be family.

I didn’t know it then, but that conversation would change the entire trajectory of my life.
