But Miles is already out of the seat and rounding to the back to slide in next to Brooke.
“When was the last time you were at Red Rocks?” Nova asks under her breath as she fastens her seatbelt.
The other three are still arguing in the back.
“I think you know.”
“Remind me.”
I put the car in gear then thread my fingers through hers. “It was our first date.”
“That was a date?!” Her blue eyes widen.
“What would you call it?”
“You sulked.”
“It worked.”
“Because I kissed you.”
“I kissed you better.” I flip her palm and press my lips to it.
Nothing as fun as rendering my girl speechless.
The guys in the back are joking about something Rookie posted on social.
“You never miss the sneaking around?” she asks me.
“Say the word and I’ll steal you away and do very bad things to you just out of sight.”
When we get to Red Rocks and park, Rookie’s already there, getting out of his bright-purple car. “Hey, assholes.”
Miles hollers, “What’s wrong with your car?”
“It’s a custom color.”
“Looks like you ran over Barney the Dinosaur,” Jay crows.
Rookie shakes him off.
“What? You give him a name and he gets touchy.”
Chloe gets out of Rookie’s passenger seat, and Jay’s laughter dies.
Fans in Kodiaks hats wave. “You guys are amazing! Go champs.”
“Can we get pics?” one of them asks.
We head over and take selfies with our fans before making our way to the VIP section.
This is the first off-season things have felt right. I’m talking with our coaching staff about my role going forward, making sure I can keep my body on track while mentoring some of the junior guys.
James got props for Coach’s going-away present. I told him I wouldn’t tell so long as he made a generous donation to the Kodiak Foundation.
Plus, word is the rings for this team are going to be insane. If there’s one thing he can be counted on, it’s buying stuff for himself.
Coach is easing into his retirement. He still coaches at Kodiak Camp and tells stories.
