Hart Family
I laugh before opening it.
Dad: THERE'S MY GIRL!!!
Tyler: HOLY CRAP! THAT WAS AWESOME!
Lauren: I knew it!!
Mom: We are so incredibly proud of you, sweetheart.
Another message pops up.
Dad: Tyler made me download TikTok.
Tyler: You're welcome.
Dad: Never doing that again.
I snort.
Tyler shares a video.
I tap it.
The SGI logo fills the screen before the video cuts to the final seconds of the championship game. The crowd is standing. Green and gold confetti explodes through the air as the Austin Dillos secure the winning touchdown.
The camera swings toward the stage.
Toward me.
I'm laughing.
Clapping.
Looking completely overwhelmed.
Then Witt walks into frame.
The comments explode before he even reaches me.
"He's Smiling!"
"Wait... Is That Witt O'ryan?"
"NO WAY HE'S ABOUT TO..."
The video ends with him cupping my face and kissing me.
Over three million views and it’s been less than twelve hours.
I shake my head, smiling despite myself.
Another text arrives.
Dad: I watched it four times.
Lauren: Six.
