“Next up is Chef Ashna Raje and her partner, the greatest striker in the history of football, Frederico Silva." The audience went wild, their share of applause noticeably louder than everyone else's. DJ made a production out of waiting for the applause to die down without seeming like a hack. The network had done well with their choice of host. The man had a deep, sophisticated voice and a London accent that moved comfortably between posh and working class. He grinned at Rico with the friendliness of someone Rico had not been an arse to just recently. The person who had provoked him enough to make an arse out of himself turned to him and seemed to read exactly how guilty he was feeling. That of all things seemed to loosen out the knots she'd been tied up in since they had arrived at the studio today. "Bonus points for calling it football, mate," Rico said, and the crowd booed playfully. "And by football they both mean soccer," Ashna added. "This is America, guys!" The crowd went nuts.”
