NEW YORK — Benefit, Yankees. Recent off taking the primary two video games of the ALCS at dwelling from the Guardians, this collection is off to Cleveland with the Yankees in full management.
Two wins stand between the Yankees and their first World Collection look since 2009, a drought too lengthy for a corporation that’s received 27 of them, however they know the Guardians are a greater group than what we’ve seen by means of the primary two video games.
“Guys are excited, however we nonetheless know there’s a whole lot of work to be executed,” mentioned Aaron Decide, who launched his first dwelling run of this postseason within the Yankees’ 6-3 win Tuesday. “We’re taking part in towards a great Cleveland group that has battled all yr, had some robust video games, went by means of a tricky collection with Detroit taking it to Recreation 5 and got here out on the opposite facet.

Tuesday evening’s loss in Recreation 2 felt like one the Guardians may flip of their favor when the Yankees allow them to cling round by means of the center innings, however Cleveland left the bases loaded in back-to-back innings. The Guardians aren’t about to out-slug the Yankees, who led baseball with 237 dwelling runs this season, however they should discover that large hit on the proper second.
Guardians supervisor Stephen Vogt doesn’t see any want for grand change, although. He simply desires to see the identical membership that received 92 video games this season.
“Be us. Maintain doing what we’re doing,” Vogt mentioned. “We had visitors all evening tonight. We do what we do. We get on base and make issues occur. We simply did not get an enormous hit with runners in scoring place tonight. We’re one swing of the bat away from taking the lead in that sport. We’re one swing of the bat from being proper again in it. That’s who we’re. We do not stop. We simply have to maintain being us.”
This might be a steep hill for the Guardians to climb, however their first objective is to get the ALCS again to New York.
When is the sport and the way can I watch it? Recreation 3 of the American League Championship Collection is airing proper now, stay from Progressive Discipline in Cleveland, on TBS, truTV and Max.
All video games can be found within the U.S. on MLB.TV (authentication to a collaborating Pay TV supplier is required). Dwell video games are additionally obtainable in choose nations outdoors the U.S. For full particulars, click on right here.
Who’re the beginning pitchers? Yankees: Clarke Schmidt will make his second begin of this postseason after tossing 4 2/3 innings of two-run ball in a no-decision throughout Recreation 3 of the ALDS at Kansas Metropolis. Schmidt’s first two playoff appearances got here towards Cleveland within the 2022 ALDS, when he pitched a scoreless inning in Recreation 2, however was charged with a blown save and a loss in Recreation 3. He picked up a win towards Cleveland on April 13 of this season, permitting two runs (one earned) over 5 innings.
Guardians: Matthew Boyd, the Guardians’ No. 2 starter for the ALDS, will get the ball on common relaxation. The lefty has made six profession begins towards the Yankees, proudly owning a 5.17 ERA with seven homers, 16 walks and 29 strikeouts in 31 1/3 innings. Within the winner-take-all Recreation 5 begin towards the Tigers within the ALDS, Boyd allowed only one hit in two frames. Previous to that, he had given up simply 4 hits in 4 2/3 scoreless frames in Recreation 2. Can he maintain his scoreless streak alive when the Guardians want beginning pitching probably the most?
What are the beginning lineups? Yankees: With a lefty on the mound for Cleveland, Giancarlo Stanton moved to the cleanup spot and Jose Trevino might be behind the plate as an alternative of Austin Wells, who has caught all six playoff video games to this point and has struggled offensively. Anthony Rizzo additionally was benched in favor of the righty-swinging Jon Berti, who will begin for the primary time within the ALCS. Berti had by no means performed first base within the Majors till getting the beginning there in ALDS Recreation 2 vs. the Royals.
Guardians: With catcher Bo Naylor struggling mightily this postseason — he is 0-for-14 with 4 strikeouts in seven video games — defense-first catcher Austin Hedges received the decision for Recreation 3. Daniel Schneemann, who begins in proper discipline and bats sixth, enters tonight with only one postseason plate look beneath his belt.
How will the bullpens line up after the starter? Yankees: Wednesday’s off-day supplies some priceless relaxation for the bullpen, particularly Clay Holmes and Luke Weaver, every of whom have appeared within the membership’s first six postseason video games. There’s a dialogue available that Boone would possibly wish to ease off on Holmes and Weaver (an look in Recreation 3 would imply three outings in 4 days, with Recreation 4 and probably Recreation 5 to comply with), nevertheless it’s the playoffs, so count on the Yankees to attempt to win Recreation 3 and fear in regards to the subsequent day later.
Guardians: Cleveland can be pleased about Wednesday’s off-day after having to run seven relievers to the mound in Recreation 2 following Tanner Bibee’s fast exit. This bullpen has been the spine of the Guardians’ roster all season lengthy, and it has to remain that manner if this group goes to advance to the World Collection. Nonetheless, for every thing to go completely, the Guardians will want their starters to eat up extra innings than they did of their final three video games, in order that the Large 4 can do all of the heavy lifting in reduction. If Cade Smith, Tim Herrin, Hunter Gaddis and Emmanuel Clase are the one ones getting the ball, the possibilities of New York scoring within the late innings lower.
Any accidents of observe? Yankees: Left-hander Nestor Cortes (left elbow flexor pressure) is anticipated to face hitters later this week, which might make him a consideration for a possible World Collection roster. Infielder DJ LeMahieu (proper hip impingement) can also be attempting to be an choice, and Boone famous that he’s been transferring higher recently. Neither was near being included on the ALCS roster.
Guardians: Recreation 1 starter Alex Cobb was identified with a decrease again pressure, which prompted him to be faraway from the ALCS roster on Tuesday. He was changed with Ben Vigorous. Infielder/outfielder Tyler Freeman strained his indirect throughout a exercise this week and was faraway from the ALDS roster and was left off of the ALCS roster.
Who’s sizzling and who is just not? Yankees: Soto’s status as an on-base machine has carried over into the playoffs, the place he’s 7-for-20 (.350) with two runs scored, a double, homer, three RBIs and 5 walks. Volpe has been hitting the ball effectively, higher than his numbers (5-for-18, .278) would possibly point out at first look. Stanton had a quiet ALCS Recreation 2, however he has been an October monster (7-for-23, .304, 2 HR). Chisholm is 3-for-23 (.130) within the playoffs.
Guardians: Regardless of how a lot this offense is struggling to get the well timed hit, it hasn’t misplaced its spark plug in Steven Kwan on the prime of the order. Kwan prolonged his postseason hitting streak to 12 video games, relationship again to Recreation 1 of the 2022 ALDS, which is the longest such streak in Cleveland historical past. The longest playoff hitting streak by an American League participant was Michael Brantley in 2020-21 (16 video games). In seven video games this postseason, Kwan is hitting .488.
CLEVELAND – A loopy, October playoff sport – marked by dramatic house runs and wild swings – ended with another highly effective swing by David Fry.
And similar to that, the Yankees have seen the Cleveland Guardians spark to life within the AL Championship Collection.
With a two-run homer off Clay Holmes within the backside of the tenth inning, the Guardians’ David Fry dealt the Yankees a 7-5 Recreation 3 loss earlier than a gone-mad sellout crowd at Progressive Area.
The place had been useless quiet within the eighth inning, and once more within the ninth, whereas the Yanks confirmed their muscle.
Towards Emmanuel Clase, the category of MLB’s closers in 2024, the Yankees flaunted their energy in a late playoff comeback.
Within the eighth inning, Aaron Decide’s game-tying, two-run homer off Clase was adopted by Giancarlo Stanton’s go-ahead shot, and the Yankees had been seemingly on their method towards taking a 3-0 collection lead.
However with two outs within the backside of the ninth, the Guardians tied it with a dramatic two-run homer off Yankees nearer Luke Weaver.
And now that we’re tied…
You recall once more the Yankees’ awful baserunning and missed alternatives to money in runs, and maybe an opportunity to usher in Holmes for the final out after the Thomas double.
Sure, Holmes has been used as a lot as Weaver in these playoffs and Weaver has been good.
However Weaver did point out the issue of ramping again up for the ninth in Recreation 1, when he walked the leadoff hitter earlier than finishing a five-out save. Boone mentioned earlier than the sport that he was conscious of Weaver’s elevated workload.
Anyway, on we go…
Jhonkensy Noel house run ties sport in ninth
Lane Thomas’ two-out double was adopted by a no-doubt, two-run homer by pinch-hitter Jhonkensy Noel off Weaver, and we’re tied once more as Progressive Area is bedlam.
Luke Weaver for the win
Aaron Boone might need to stay with Jon Berti or Oswaldo Cabrera at first base after Rizzo makes an error to open the ninth, however Weaver shortly will get Josh Naylor on a comebacker/double play. One out to go.
Anthony Volpe barrels his strategy to third base
This time, a nasty baserunning determination labored for the Yanks as Anthony Volpe moved from first to 3rd on a bobbled, right-side grounder.
When the throw got here to 3rd, Volpe – approaching third base – knocked into Jose Ramirez, who dropped the throw for an error.
That put runners at second and third, and now Gleyber Torres’ sac fly has made it a 5-3 Yankees’ lead.
Volpe was on base resulting from one other stroll, his second of the sport and eighth this postseason. Similar Volpe who at one stretch of 40 video games (172 plate appearances) this summer season walked 4 instances.
As soon as extra, Luke Weaver in search of the ultimate outs
Luke Weaver has completed each Yankees sport in these playoffs, and now he is in search of a four-out save to provide the Yankees a 3-0 ALCS lead.
He enters with runners at first and second, two out within the eighth, Yanks forward 4-3 and David Fry arising…
…and Fry cannot maintain up on Weaver’s 1-2, 97-mph fastball off the surface a part of the plate. We go to the ninth.
Luke Weaver warming up
Tommy Kahnle continues to be on the market within the eighth, making an attempt to bridge this 4-3 result in the Yankees’ nearer.
At first base, Anthony Rizzo is on the market for Berti defensively, however he simply made a clumsy cross at Will Brennan’s grounder towards the road, which works as a one-out double.
Again-to-back house runs for Aaron Decide, Giancarlo Stanton
Giancarlo Stanton has simply untied this sport with a homer to heart off Clase, it is 4-3 Yankees, and the Yanks have simply survived a Cleveland replay problem about Stanton not touching first base (he did).
Gamers from the Yankees dugout had simply spilled out to greet Decide after his game-tying homer, and so they did the identical for Stanton, as this crowd in Cleveland has gone from wild cheers to shocked silence.
It is… gone! Aaron Decide ties the sport with house run
On a 1-2 pitch, Decide rifles one the opposite method, simply over the precise area wall and it is a 3-3 sport right here within the eighth.
It was a 99-mph cutter, and Decide despatched it 356 toes – a two-iron that shocked Cleveland and ignited the Yankee dugout.
Emmanuel Clase vs. Aaron Decide
Hunter Gaddis retired the primary two Yanks he confronted (together with pinch-hitter Austin Wells, on a strikeout), however he walked Juan Soto on 4 pitches.
And right here comes the nearer, Emmanuel Clase to face Aaron Decide because the tying run right here within the Yankees’ eighth.
Emmanuel Clase looming
It is a six-out sport for Cleveland as they appear to construct on their 3-1 lead within the final of the seventh, and Hunter Gaddis appears subsequent in line out of the Guardians’ bullpen, with their terrific nearer Clase looming.
In the meantime, Tommy Kahnle is on for the Yanks, with a runner at first, none out…
…and he will get Jose Ramirez on a fly out, will get Josh Naylor to swing over three signature changeups (with Naylor twice shedding his helmet on swings) and walks Lane Thomas earlier than ending the inning. Nonetheless 3-1, Cleveland.
Berti has largely appeared the half at first base, and he did so once more on that closing play, fielding to his proper and tossing to Kahnle masking.
Cleveland manufactures a run within the sixth
Lane Thomas (stroll) moved to second on a right-side groundout, stole third on Mayza-Trevino and scores on an Andres Gimenez floor single up the center with the infield in. 3-1, Cleveland. Huge stolen base there.
Ian Hamilton makes an abrupt exit
Hamilton simply lined first on a bang-bang play (Yanks get the out on a replay assessment) and now he is exiting the sport after a go to from an athletic coach and Aaron Boone.
Lefty Tim Mayza on now, with Lane Thomas on second base, one out, and Cleveland up 2-1. Hamilton missed 67 staff video games with a lat pressure this summer season.
13 in a row retired by Cleveland
It is one other fast 1-2-3 inning with Cade Smith retiring Soto, Decide and Stanton within the sixth. Yanks nonetheless with out anybody on base because the second inning.
Ian Hamilton now enters for the Yanks within the backside of the sixth, Cleveland nonetheless up 2-1.
Clarke Schmidt exits, Tim Hill enters
After a two-out, Jose Ramirez double within the fifth, Clarke Schmidt’s day is over. Tim Hill arrives and retires Josh Naylor, maintaining it a 2-1 Cleveland lead.
And right here comes Cade Smith out of the bullpen within the sixth for Cleveland. Matthew Boyd’s 5 innings was the longest begin by a Guardians pitcher this postseason.
Bullpen sport quickly for Cleveland?
Oops…thought Cade Smith was about to enter within the fifth inning for Cleveland, however lefty starter Matthew Boyd completed up by getting the Yanks 8-9-1 hitters, beginning with Alex Verdugo. Nonetheless, 2-1, Cleveland.
Recreation of inches
Good play at first base by Berti, stretching for Volpe’s fast launch/bounced throw to get Lane Thomas by a hair to finish the third.
If he is secure, it is one other run as Jose Ramirez would’ve scored from second. For now, it is 2-1, Cleveland…
…and Matthew Boyd shortly will get by way of the Yankees within the fourth. The lefty has retired seven straight Yanks since Jose Trevino’s RBI single.
Yankees errors already pricey
It is 2-1, Cleveland within the third on a two-run homer by Kyle Manzardo, and already the Yanks have price themselves with offensive errors on the bases and performs that needs to be made defensively.
Two batters earlier than Manzardo’s one-out homer to proper off Schmidt, novice first baseman Jon Berti made a leaping try at Brayan Rocchio’s leadoff liner that clanged off Berti’s glove for a generously scored single.
As John Sterling would say, it was “lined like a bullet,” but it surely’s nonetheless a play that needs to be made.
Yankees strike first
OK, a bit to unpack right here. However first, Jose Trevino – who began simply 14 video games within the second half – singles previous a drawn-in infield, and it is 1-0 Yanks within the second inning.
After Volpe’s stroll, Alex Verdugo hustled a double (after an preliminary pause) and Trevino got here by way of. After which the Yanks tousled on the bases once more.
With runners on the corners, Trevino will get picked off first base and the Yankees lose a possible additional run. It is 1-0 Yanks, and so they’re nonetheless a nightmare on the bases.
On that Verdugo double, Boone got here out to argue…one thing. We’ll discover out later. Second time he is been on the market right now, first was on the automated strike to Soto.
Who leads the Yankees in walks this postseason?
Not Decide, not Soto, however Anthony Volpe, who leads off the second inning together with his seventh free cross in seven video games this postseason.
Guardians threaten, Clarke Schmidt battles again
Cleveland opened the primary with a stroll and a bloop single, however Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt retired the following three batters – beginning with a swinging strikeout of the harmful Jose Ramirez on a 1-2 curveball.
Jon Berti initially appeared a bit off steadiness in fielding Josh Naylor’s sizzling grounder, however Berti made the play unassisted, and Lane Thomas stranded two runners in scoring place as Schmidt obtained him to floor out.
Later within the sport, if the Yankees have a lead, Anthony Rizzo looms as a defensive alternative at first base.
Gleyber Torres getting it completed at leadoff
Torres opened Recreation 3 with a stroll on a full-count pitch by Matthew Boyd, the sixth time in seven 2024 postseason video games that he is reached safely to start out the Yanks off.
However the lefty starter labored round two walks in a scoreless high of the primary, with assist from heart fielder Lane Thomas’ sliding catch on a Juan Soto liner (after Soto disputed a timer violation first strike).

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — King Charles III and Queen Camilla will arrive in Sydney on Friday for the primary Australian go to by a reigning monarch in additional than a decade, a visit that has rekindled debate concerning the nation’s constitutional hyperlinks to Britain.
The Sydney Opera Home’s iconic sails will probably be illuminated with photographs of earlier royal visits to welcome the couple, whose six-day journey will probably be temporary by royal requirements. Charles, 75, is being handled for most cancers, which led to the scaled-down itinerary.
He’s solely the second reigning British monarch to go to Australia. His mom, Queen Elizabeth II, grew to become the primary 70 years in the past.
Whereas the welcome will probably be heat, Australia’s nationwide and state leaders need the royals faraway from their structure.
Monarchists count on the go to will strengthen Australians’ connection to their sovereign. Opponents hope for a rejection of the idea that somebody from the opposite aspect of the world is Australia’s head of state.
The Australian Republic Motion, which campaigns for an Australian citizen to exchange the British monarch as head of state, likens the royal go to to a touring act within the leisure trade.
The ARM this week launched what it calls a marketing campaign to “Wave Goodbye to Royal Reign with Monarchy: The Farewell Oz Tour!”
ARM co-chair Esther Anatolitis stated royal visits to Australia had been “one thing of a present that involves city.”
“Sadly, it’s a reminder that Australia’s head of state isn’t full-time, isn’t Australian. It’s a part-time particular person based mostly abroad who’s the pinnacle of state of quite a few locations,” Anatolitis advised the AP.
“We are saying to Charles and Camilla: ‘Welcome, we hope you’re having fun with our nation and good well being and good spirits.’ However we additionally look ahead to this being the ultimate tour of a sitting Australian monarch and that once they come again to go to quickly, we look ahead to welcoming them as visiting dignitaries,” she added.
Philip Benwell, nationwide chair of the Australian Monarchist League, which campaigns for Australia’s constitutional hyperlinks to Britain to be maintained, expects response to the royal couple will probably be overwhelmingly optimistic.
“One thing just like the royal go to brings the king nearer within the minds of individuals, as a result of now we have an absent monarchy,” Benwell advised the AP.
“The go to by the king brings it dwelling that Australia is a constitutional monarchy and it has a king,” he added.
Benwell is vital of the premiers of all six states, who’ve declined invites to attend a reception for Charles within the nationwide capital Canberra.
The premiers every defined that that they had extra urgent engagements on the day reminiscent of cupboard conferences and abroad journey.
“It might be just about incumbent upon the premiers to be in Canberra to fulfill him and pay their respects,” Benwell stated. “To not attend might be thought-about to be a snub, as a result of this isn’t a standard go to. That is the primary go to of a king ever to Australia.”
Charles was drawn into Australia’s republic debate months earlier than his go to.
The Australian Republic Motion wrote to Charles in December final yr requesting a gathering in Australia and for the king to advocate their trigger. Buckingham Palace politely wrote again in March to say the king’s conferences can be determined upon by the Australian authorities. A gathering with the ARM doesn’t seem on the official itinerary.
“Whether or not Australia turns into a republic is … a matter for the Australian public to resolve,” stated the letter from Buckingham Palace.
The Related Press has seen copies of each letters.
Australians determined in a referendum in 1999 to retain Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. That result’s broadly thought to be a consequence of disagreement about how a president ought to be chosen slightly than majority assist for a monarch.
After visiting Sydney and Canberra, that are 250 kilometers (155 miles aside), Charles will then journey to Samoa to open the annual Commonwealth Heads of Authorities Assembly.
When his mom made the final of her 16 journeys to Australia in 2011 on the age of 85, she visited Canberra, Brisbane and Melbourne on the east coast earlier than opening the Commonwealth Heads of Authorities Assembly within the west coast metropolis of Perth.
Elizabeth’s first grueling Australian tour on the age of 27 took in scores of far-flung Outback cities; an estimated 75% of the nation’s inhabitants turned out to see her.
Australia then had a racially discriminatory coverage that favored British immigrants. Immigration coverage has been non-discriminatory since 1973 .
Anatolitis famous that Australia is way extra multicultural now, with many of the inhabitants both born abroad or with a overseas-born mum or dad.
“Within the ’50s, we didn’t have that world interconnectedness that now we have now,” she stated.

One Course has at all times been higher at saying goodbye than I might ever be. I’ve at all times struggled with the finality of farewell, at all times leaping by means of as many psychological hoops as I wanted to in an effort to persuade myself that the individuals, locations, and emotions left behind might at all times come again. At 17, a month after my highschool commencement, I sat in my bed room surrounded by containers holding my whole life in them. There was a mixture of concern and pleasure for my future — set for a metropolis a whole bunch of miles away from the place the place I spent essentially the most adolescence of my life — however I didn’t know tips on how to merge that with the grief of rising up. On my final evening in that room, its partitions naked once more after years of being plastered in One Course posters, I listened to “Strolling within the Wind” for hours.
“We had some good occasions, didn’t we? We had some good tips up our sleeve,” they sang on the pre-chorus. “Goodbyes are bittersweet, nevertheless it’s not the tip — I’ll see your face once more.” Their final album as a band, Made within the A.M., is stuffed with these varieties of ultimate send-offs. They had been so good at saying goodbye that I didn’t understand it was occurring till we entered the second or third 12 months of the 18-month break they had been speculated to reunite after. We’re almost on the nine-year mark now, nevertheless it’s most likely time to cease counting. I spent one other few hours with “Strolling within the Wind” on repeat final evening, this time grieving a loss too tangible to be short-term — a dying.
Liam Payne died on Oct. 16 from accidents sustained after falling from the balcony of his resort room. After the information broke, I believed concerning the inevitability of getting to write down out that sentence. I anxious nearly instantly about having the language to debate his dying exterior of the circles of people that would innately perceive with out me having all the proper phrases. I spent a number of time in search of consolation with these individuals yesterday — those I first met after we had been youngsters operating One Course fan accounts on Twitter. I can bear in mind simply as vividly seeing everybody put up their promenade and commencement photographs as I can the nights all of us spent dwell tweeting album leaks, music video releases, and awards present appearances collectively. A few of them have kids and spouses now. Some I hadn’t seen put up about One Course in years, with their careers and lives having outgrown the containment of our bubble.

Lately, the overall state of stan tradition has advanced into one thing unrecognizable to me. I’m hyper-aware of how parasocial this all might learn to somebody who didn’t expertise it themselves. However the group that One Course followers collectively constructed round them greater than a decade in the past feels frozen in time. Lower than three months in the past, I used to be sweaty and winded at a One Course-themed membership evening dancing with associates who really feel like household to me — a few of the best individuals I’ve ever identified, who I’d by no means have encountered if we didn’t every discover ourselves overwhelmed with an urge to speak about our favourite boy band with thousands and thousands of strangers on-line. We’ve cried in one another’s arms at Harry Types concert events and misplaced our voices screaming “Stockholm Syndrome” when Niall Horan slipped it into his solo setlist.
It by no means felt like One Course would ever really be over, as long as we had these reminiscences and these individuals and these songs. They’ve been one of the constant parts of my life since I used to be 13 years previous. At 26, I nonetheless really feel wholly indebted to them for main me to my finest associates, to my profession, to heights of happiness I’ve by no means identified tips on how to entry by means of anything. Even in spite of everything this time, some a part of me at all times believed they might come again. That I’d be arm in arm with those self same individuals at a reunion present after we’re all in our forties. That we’d see all 5 of them onstage — Niall, Harry, Louis, Liam, even Zayn — and suppose again to the grainy dwell streams we’d watch of the Up All Evening tour in 2012. On the finish of their final single, “Historical past,” they sang: “So don’t let me go, we are able to dwell eternally.”

The model of One Course that now we have all held onto hasn’t existed for fairly a while. It lives eternally solely within the sense that it lives inside all of us. However the actuality of their true impermanence has left us with much more ghosts to grieve within the wake of Liam’s dying. There’s no option to neatly detach the mourning of an individual current in each scene of the reminiscence reel taking part in by means of our minds from the particular person he was exterior of our lens of fandom — somebody who was sued by his ex-fiance for harassment and accused of home violence in that very same relationship. Somebody who struggled with substance abuse on the peak of the celebrity that we gave him. There isn’t a single mixture of the right phrases to actually talk the supply and feeling of this aching disappointment except it has burrowed into your chest, too. If it has, you don’t want them.
Final evening, I went looking out by means of One Course’s discography to see in the event that they knew what to say. They at all times have. On “Areas,” I discovered: “Areas between us maintain getting deeper/It’s tougher to achieve ya, although I’ve tried/Areas between us maintain all our secrets and techniques/Leavin’ us speechless and I don’t know why/Who’s gonna be the primary to say goodbye?” On “Moments,” I discovered: “If we might solely have this life for yet another day/If we might solely flip again time … I’ll discover the phrases to say earlier than you permit me at present.” After some time, I returned to “Strolling within the Wind,” the track that has at all times helped me say goodbye to the individuals and time that I can’t get again however that dwell on in my coronary heart. “And I do know we’ll be alright, little one, simply shut your eyes and see,” they promise on the bridge. “I’ll be by your facet, anytime you’re needing me.”
