I met your mother at a Friday evening tennis social. A mixed doubles event mixer with multiple matches. The last match normally had couples play together. I got partnered with your mother, who had played tennis in High School. Our male opponent was an player who I knew and I also felt I was a better player.
Early in the set I hit two lobs badly over his head which he was able to hit overheads, both times he chose to hit his overheads at your mother. My thoughts at that point was your mother could have a good time or he could. I decided I needed to play better and your mother and we won the set.
I ran into our opponent in the locker room while showering and changing my clothes. He asked me why I had played so well. I told him my thoughts. He had given me a choice that he could have a good time or my partner could. He understood what I was saying.
