Four seasons in this building.
Yeah.
I notice the specific week Nova becomes part of this team.
Week three of the Conference Final. Tuesday practice. Brody waves her over to a team dinner like she’s been coming for years. Nobody questions it. Katarina texts her recovery protocol ideas for Caleb’s hip — I find this out from Katarina mentioning it like it’s normal, which apparently it is. Aurora sends her ultrasound photos. Nova sends back a voice memo that makes Aurora laugh so hard Aiden comes to check on her.
Liam nods at her in the hallway.
From Liam that’s a full social interaction.
I don’t say anything about it.
Game 6 morning.
My phone goes off at seven.
Nova:

Me:
I know.
Nova:

Me:
Getting bigger.
Nova:

I look at it.
Me:
Yeah.
Nova:

Me:
Don’t.
Nova:

Me:
Don’t.
