Cameron
Nice work, Finn.
Archie
Shut up, you two. I’m too tired for this.
Finn
What’s your plan, then? Besides charming her mum.
Archie
There is no plan. We’re just hanging out.
Finn
That won’t do, lad. You don’t just score a girl like her without a solid plan.
Cameron
He’s not wrong. Maybe you can take her somewhere you both enjoy.
Archie
You mean… like a date? That’s your big plan?
Finn
Yeah. Date her. Kiss her. Done.
Archie
Right. Great advice coming from two single men. Not sure you blokes are in the best position to hand out dating tips.
Finn
Ah, that’s rubbish. We just haven’t found anyone yet.
Cameron
But maybe you have?
Archie
Let’s not get too carried away, shall we? I’m gonna get some sleep. Good night, lads.
Chapter 17
“There’s no one more special than you, Katherine Lennox.”
Archie
I wasthisclose to kissing Kat the night of our opener, and I’m kicking myself for not having made the first move. I haven’t seen her in a few days, and as strange as it sounds, I miss her. All I thought about during our first away match of the season was Kat. And after crossing paths with her three times in one day, I finally decided to elaboratea plan. I’m still not sure it was wise to listen to my only single friends, but it seems to be working. The next time I crossed Katherine in the hallway, I suggested we work out together today, and she agreed.
While I sip my morning coffee, my phone buzzes. It’s a reply from Gilly—finally. She says she received the results of her biopsy, and she already has an appointment to get the spot removed in about ten days.
I let out a slow breath and lean back in my chair as relief floods me. Thank goodness. Gilly might be chaotic, but I know Kat loves her. Finishing my coffee, I grab my gym bag and head downstairs.
