As the people around them started packing up their seat cushions and coolers, he said, “We always grab beers at Cupid’s Arrow Bar and Grill after the game. Sound good?”
“God, yes. I could definitely use a drink. And maybe I could endear myself to my new teammates by buying them a round.”
He grinned as he packed his equipment into the big canvas bag he’d carried it all in. “Trust me, it’s not necessary. You earned plenty of brownie points just by being yourself. But, if you want to do that, they’re definitely not gonna turn down free booze.”
“I’ll make some friends for life?” she joked.
He stood and took her hand, then leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. “I think you’ve already done that.”
When he’d piled all of his gear into the bag, he stood and they started walking to the parking lot together. She pulled out her keys. “I think I know how to get to Cupid’s Arrow. I’m pretty sure I saw the sign when I was shopping downtown. But remind me where it is again?”
“How about this… it’s walking distance from your house. Mila already took off with her friend Kelsey. Why don’t I follow you to your place…well, our places, actually… then, we can park there and walk down to the bar together.”
“That sounds good,” she said. “It sounds like a nice opportunity to take a walk together.”
“That’s what I was thinking. Plus, a nice opportunity to be able to drink as much as we want and not have to drive afterward.”
She laughed again, that tingling musical sound that he loved. “You may as well have been reading my mind.”
