“Yeah. I told Coach I’d come early. He wants to discuss a few things.”
Something about that doesn’t sit right with me. “Have you heard from Peter?”
“Not lately, why?”
My hackles rise. “Not lately or not since you signed with him?”
Logan shrugs. “I’m married to his star agent.”
And his star agent is beginning to think Pete is a little fucking weasel.
“Anyway, any last-minute insights on the plan?”
“Other thanno comment?” I tease. “No. Leave them wanting more. I planted the seed with one of my contacts, so you’ll definitely be asked about us before they even see me. The rings on my finger and your name on my back will be all the confirmation they should need, but I have no doubt they’ll want more. The next few weeks will be a little wild. But it’s nothing we can’t handle.”
“You are a frighteningly genius little thing, aren’t you, wife?” And the reverence in his tone is absolutely everything I ever hoped to hear. “I’ve got to go. I’ll see you tonight.” His lips brush over mine but are gone all too soon.
“Hey, Logan,” I call out as he walks away, and wait for him to look back. “Kick the Revolution’s ass tonight for me, okay?”
“You sure?” He laughs. “They’re your family’s team.”
“Yeah well, my husband is the Nobles’ captain.”
It’s time to cheer for a new team.
Nina
I received confirmation for Monica’s visitation this weekend. She’ll be there to pick Magnolia up at two p.m.
Olivia
Do you think she’ll actually show up this time?
Nina
According to her lawyer, yes. She said last time she canceled was for a stomach bug.
Olivia
And there’s no way to reschedule it so Logan isn’t gone for his away game during visitation?
Logan’s name flashes on my screen, and I send him to voicemail.
Nina
No. Sorry, my friend.
Olivia
It’s not your fault. I knew the answer before I asked the question. I just hate the idea of sending Maggie away. Even if it’s just for a few hours. But especially when he’s not here. And he hates it even more than I do.
We need to win, Nina.
Nina
I’m still working on it.
