“Speaking my language, kid.” He smiles.
“Don’t discount Hart—he bleeds for this game.”
“Anyone else I should be looking at?”
I hear Koa chuckle, and I exhale a long breath. “Not on good terms with the only other one I think is worth a shit, but from what I saw a couple weeks ago, and what I’ve heard, Oz Hunt is a damn good defensive end.”
“Hey,” I hear from behind me and look over my shoulder, seeing Riley smiling. “Wanna give me a ride?”
“You know I do.” I reach back and take her hand as I turn back to Lucas. “Good luck, and congratulations on the unofficial acquisition.”
“Got a question for you two.” He smirks, and I lift my chin. “Who’s your football team?”
I gently pull Riley around so she’s not hidden behind me and ask her, “Who’s your favorite NFL team?”
She shrugs. “I’ve lived in Massachusetts my entire life, so I’m supposed to say the Patriots.”
Both Lucas and Tessa cringe.
I chuckle as I answer, “Born and raised in Texas.”
“Cowboys? Mine, too.” Tessa laughs.
“Killing me, T Ross.” He sighs exaggeratedly. “You can’t say shit like that anymore. You’re supposed to be working on not even so much as thinking like that.”
She gives him a dramatic eye roll.
“Maybe I should clarify, I was born and raised in Houston, Texas.”
They both laugh.
“I’m not planning on moving back anytime soon. I’ll support whoever Warren and Hart end up with.”
“Good to know.”
Tessa looks at Riley. “Born in raised in Central New York and reside there. I still love the Cowboys.”
“But …?” her husband says.
“Buuuut,” she concedes, “the New York Knights are my favorite.”
Riley looks at them both. “Who’s your favorite NHL team?”
“Whoever your man plays for after college.” Lucas winks.
“Good answer.” Riley smiles.
“If you’re ever in the Blue Valley area, look us up.” Lucas gives me a card.
I put it in my pocket.
