all that seemed like it was about to change. 
    In Tyler's first game at quarterback, he played like a highlight reel unto himself.  The man was an absolute superstar.  He played like a seasoned veteran instead of a true freshman quarterback.  And he singlehandedly led his team to an upset victory over the number eight team in the country. 
    That kind of star turning performance did not go unnoticed in a city like LA.  After the game, Tyler got his first taste of what it meant to be a star in LA.  When he and some of his teammates went to a club on the Sunset Strip, Tyler was the one that turned heads.  If Tyler could have any woman in Juniper Flats growing up, he now had the entire city of LA in the palm of his hands.  Tyler suddenly had underwear models and actresses as groupies.  And Tyler decided to soak up all the benefits his new fame allowed. 
     
    Chapter Six
     
    Meanwhile back in Texas, Maureen's parents meanwhile offered what comfort they could at the weekly family dinner at home. 
    "I hate to see you like this," Isabel said.
    "Trust me, it sucks for me too," Maureen said, moving food around her plate without any appetite.
    "I know it's hard to believe, but there is a reason for this," Isabel assured with all her motherly ability.
    "Yeah?  Well I can't imagine what it is.  What reason could there possibly be for this happening?" Maureen asked.
    "Maybe Tyler only seemed like the right man for you," Isabel answered.
    "If he was the wrong man, I don't know what's right.  I gave a year of my life to him.  He's the only guy I've ever loved," Maureen replied.
    Brett then chimed in.  "I know.  But a man with a restless heart is in no shape to take care of yours.  You need a man that will love you, honor you, and cherish you--not just football."
    Maureen looked at her father like he had two heads.  "Are you serious dad?"
    "Hey, just because I'm a football coach doesn't mean I don't know how to take care of your mother's heart.  Your mother means more to me than anything, and you need to find a man that will do the same for you," Brett explained.
    "You're right.  I just thought that man would be Tyler," Maureen replied.
    "Honey, the first man you dream about isn't necessarily the one you're meant to spend of your life with," Isabel remarked.
    "Mom, with all due respect, you and dad have been together for thirty-four years--" Maureen argued.
    "True, but your dad wasn't my first love," Isabel admitted.
    Maureen looked at her father, but he put up no argument.  It was a sobering truth, but maybe just what Maureen needed to hear.
    "There was a boy long ago I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with," Isabel continued.  "So when he proposed to another girl at school, it crushed me.  I was inconsolable.  I thought I'd never be happy.
    "Wow," Maureen said, clearly hearing that for the first time. 
    "And then I met your father," Isabel continued. 
    Brett grabbed Isabel's hand and smiled at her like it was the first time he'd laid eyes on her.  It was heartwarming.  A nice pick me up.  And a reminder that maybe everything would be ok after all.  Maybe.  But that was their love story.  Maureen's was a completely different matter.
    "Mom, you know I value your advice.  But just because your story ended well doesn't mean mine will," Maureen said.
    But Isabel wouldn't back down.  "If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the God doesn't make mistakes."
     
    Chapter Seven
     
    Four Months Later
     
    It had ended up being an up and down year for the Armadillos.  And despite having their veteran senior quarterback Garrett Jones behind center, Texan U only managed to muster a seven and five record.  The Armadillos sure could have used the likes of Tyler Webster on their squad.  Maureen's father spend a good many nights tossing and turning in bed wishing Tyler Webster was his quarterback instead of Garrett Jones.  But what was done was done. 
    Meanwhile in LA, Tyler Webster had the kind of season a
