People she'd known her whole life were up and
moving to the city, and it saddened her to watch the place shrink and struggle.
The decline of the footy club hurt the most. The tourism was great but tourists
didn't make a close-knit community. They couldn't bring back the social aspect
that the town was once known for – but Indi could. She had grand plans to
restore the social events and the fundraisers, to revive a time when the whole
town turned out for game day and stayed until late, when young and old shared
stories. The world was obsessed with social networking, but it was of the wrong
kind. You can't connect with people over electrical devices – working
side-by-side and building up a real relationship, a real friendship, that's how
it was done.
Her
solution is to draft in a new coach to get the footy team firing again, but she
doesn't count on losing her heart to the new coach, a handsome hunk with an
outsize pile of baggage making him wary of commitment.
