Nothing a few hundred laps can’t fix … or at least distract me from the ache in my joints and chest.
By the time the other guys start filing in, I’m already sweaty and taking a water break. I check my phone and see a goodmorning text from Kayla that should make my heart rev up, not hurt.
KAYLA
Good morning, my sexy beast of a husband.
On a scale of *unfazed* to *shocked* where would you rate Eunice knowing all the words to “Baby’s Got Back”??
I have video proof. Reply, and I’ll send you the video.
SEAN
I might be too afraid to watch.
KAYLA
Too bad. Your text has triggered my automated response.
*Attachment*
SEAN
Hold on
Whoa.
Was that twerking? Did I just watch Miss Eunice twerk?
KAYLA
That you did, my good man. That you did.
SEAN
Is bleach safe for eyeballs?
KAYLA
No. Sorry, babe. That’s what you get for going out and conquering the world: a bored housewife who stayed out too late with church ladies.
SEAN
I see now what a dangerous combination that is.
KAYLA
lol
Miss you.
I hope you dominate today. You’re amazing.
SEAN
You too.
Oh, and Happy Independence Day.
