“You know… you can have my body anytime you want, Aja. All you have to do is ask.”
She shook her head. “Nope. We have to stick to the pact. That’s why we made it, remember?”
“Pact?” Gram butted in, shocking them both. “What pact?”
Aja sputtered, her mouth opening and closing a few times. Walker’s face heated as he tried to rack his brain for an acceptable answer. There was no way in hell he was about to tell her the truth.
“Uhm… Aja and I made a pact that neither of us would ever leave before a game was fully over.”
“Right.” Aja nodded emphatically. “We promised each other that we’d always stick it out.”
The look on Gram’s face was dubious. “Well, I already know that you’ll be stickin’ to that pact, Wally. I don’t drag you in here every week just for you to leave things unfinished.”
“Exactly,” he said. “That’s why Aja here is goin’ to keep me honest.”
Gram nodded her head once. “I knew she’d be a good influence on you.”
She went ahead of them towards the exit. With her casts naturally lifting her bent arms in the air but the bottom half of her moving in a strong stride, the image was hilarious.
“I have to say—pretty sure she’s wrong about you bein’ a good influence,” he said out of the side of his mouth as they followed. “In fact, I think you’re goin’ to ruin me.”
Aja’s teeth tugged at her bottom lip. “That’s the plan.”
