“How do you know I did anything?”
“Because it’s nine thirty on a Wednesday night...” He let the words hang.
“I think I messed up tonight.” I dragged a hand over my face.
“It can’t be that bad.”
“It’s date night and it slipped my mind.”
“That doesn’t sound so scandalous.” He chuckled.
“I’d arranged to watch game tapes with the guys, so when I realized, I—”
“You chose the guys over Felicity.”
Fuck. The fact he answered for me only cemented my guilt.
“When you say it like that it does sound like a dick move.”
“Fee knows the deal. She knows what it means to be on the team.”
“Yeah, I guess...”
Silence fell over the line until Cam said, “Things are okay between the two of you, right?”
“Yeah, I think so. I mean, we’re not spending much time together lately. She’s at the shelter or with tutor boy. And I’m either trying to study or with the team... Why? Has she said something to Hailee?”
“What? No! Even if she had I’m not sure she’d tell me.”
I scoffed at that. “Bullshit. My sister would tell you everything.”
“Did you just refer to Hailee as your sister?”
“No,” I grumbled at my slip of the tongue.
“You did. I heard it as plain as day. You said—”
“Okay, Chase, don’t get too excited. It doesn’t mean anything.”
“Oh, but it does.” I heard his smile. “Wait until I tell her you’ve progressed to sis—”
“I’m hanging up now.”
“I’m sorry.” His laughter subsided. “Your secret stays with me, I swear.”
“Hmm. I should never have called you.” That’s what I got for seeking out some advice.
“Yeah, you should. You needed someone to tell you to pull your head out of your ass, go find your girl and grovel.”
“You’re right.” That’s exactly what I intended on doing.
“Are the girls still planning to take Mya away for her birthday?”
“I think so,” I said. “Asher suggested we could go stay with him.”
“I’m easy. It’ll be good to see you.”
“Yeah, you too. Thanks for the chat.”
