"Nice to meet you, Liz. Hi Lilou, Hi Beau." Easton crouches down and offers two high fives - one hand for each twin. "You can call me Easton, love.", the quarterback smiles, slowly straightening back up. "No formalities needed. Also, is that a Salut I hear?", Easton wiggles his eyebrows - then switches to speaking french. "Are you two excited to see a real football stadium?", he asks. "No worries about being shy. I can get really shy, too. Especially if I'm in a place I don't know." Rahi though, Rahi makes it easier.

"Oh, don't worry." Easton laughs softly, "No pressure. I've got all day, and there were multiple tickets thrown out there - You didn't steal anyone's chance for the experience." Easton looks around, trying to figure what to do first. "We could check out the cabins. I could show you all the really cool hidden places. Does that sound nice?", the football player asks, "And I can teach you some about football, too," he offers Eliza, "If you'd like. No pressure."

⏤ She didn't go to Harvard, so she has no idea what it looks like. But she turned her head towards the voice behind her. Before she could discreetly google Easton Madden to see his face to know who exactly she was going to meet, the man near her already introduced himself, and it was him. The Aussie had no idea who this man was until her father won the ticket, and had no idea what he looked like until he introduced himself seconds ago. But bringing her toddler to watch the game, was something she wanted. Only for experience. ❛ Hi, my name is Elizabeth Beaufort but you may call me Liz if you want and these are my twins Lilou and Beau. ❜ She rose slightly each of her hands holding each of the twins introducing them to Easton.

❛ This whole experience is for them. Say hi to Easton guys. ❜ The twins both get behind Liz, hiding from him timidly, but both greet him by saying 'salut' at the same time. ❛ They are a bit shy at first, Mr. Madden, but they'll loosen up. ❜ She explained. ❛ Less you expect, you'll enjoy with your own kids. ❜ Liz told him.

Upon his options… ❛ Can be a little bit of the three of them? I'll be honest with you, please don't take it personally… The original owner of this ticket was my father, I don't know anything about American football, he gave me and just wanted to bring them to have a different activity. ❜ Her cheeks blushed after the confession, to be honest, she knew her façade of knowing football would drop anytime soon anyway, so she decided to rip off the bandaid.

With his hands folded behind his back, Easton slowly approaches, and comes to a halt behind her seat just as she comments on the size of the stadium. "Compared to Harvard's, it's enormous.", he nods, before offering a hand for her to shake. "My name is Easton Madden, but I'm sure you know, given you tried to win a hang-out with me." While other players often avoided meeting fans, Easton couldn't help but love it.

"And you brought someone along!", he grins, wide, looking at her twins, "I grew up with many younger siblings. And my fiancé and I can't really wait to have kids on our own, either." Easton's confident enough to speak on it, because he's sure.

"So, were you looking forward to a tour? Or some playing, or just hanging out? I'm down for anything, I'm all yours for a few hours."

⏤ Claude Beaufort won a drawing in which he received tickets to watch a game of any NFL team at a stadium and spend time with one notorious athlete during the game. He gave it to her daughter, Elizabeth as a gift for her and his grandchildren since it'd be a fun activity to do with them. Her father gave her instructions, he gave her the ticket and she prepared a backpack for what her toddlers might need. Elizabeth doesn't understand anything about football, and to be honest, she has no idea who is the Easton guy that she'd meet there in the stadium. Once she got ready, she dressed up her twins and headed towards the stadium.

Once arriving there, she snapped cute pictures of the twins, close to the entrance, and asked a stranger to take a picture of her with them, thanking them and then she entered at the entrance gave the ticket, and explained that she'd meet with a player named Easton. Elizabeth asked what he looked like to the worker of the cashier, and the woman laughed at Liz. ❛ You're so funny, blondie! ❜ The cashier told, her shaking her head, cackling at her, when she was being utterly serious.

Either way, she made her way toward her seats holding the twins' tiny hands, as a gentle worker helped her to locate the seat. And was told the player would join her soon. She accommodated on her seat, and her twins, both sat on her lap, a bit impressed by the size of the stadium. It was so big. ❛ Wow! That's really big! I thought it was a bit smaller! ❜ She says to none in specific, maybe for her twins but they were playing with each other and not paying attention to her words.
