"A, that’s so wonderful," Mia said "I’ll bet you’re so excited"

The doors opened and the reporters poured out Soon enough, the players followed Flynn caood ga"

"You really were, Flynn," Mia said "Defense looks solid"

Flynn turned to her, keeping his arm around Amelia "Thanks It’s just preseason so positions aren’t fully set yet, but I liked the way the defense felt in that gaood opponent"

Amelia laid her hand on his chest and looked up at hiht, babe"

Nathan came out then, and Mia made sure to keep her distance as he stopped to chat Since journalists were still wandering around, she didn’t want to give theossip fodder, plus she was still on the lookout for that photographer who’d been stalking theh

"Hey, great game, Nathan," she said

He s out there, Nathan," A him a swelled head," Flynn said "He was just okay"

Nathan laughed "That’s Flynn, always keeping round"

Flynn slapped him on the back "That’s what I’m here for, man"

Jaoing?"

"Good Is Wendy here?"

He shook his head "She was disappointed she couldn’t ht out today She has a client "

"Next hoame, then"

Jamal nodded "For sure Which is in teeks since we fly to Taet to beat up on each other in the preseason," Mia asked

Flynn grinned "Yup That’s always fun We’ll plan on plenty of trash talk"

"I guess I’ll have to get in theon Barrett," Nathan said

Flynn arched a brow "Score one touchdown and suddenly you’re a superstar, huh?"

Nathan laughed "So you don’t want ainst Taht find yourself crammed into one of the lockers at the stadium"

"Yeah, I’ll hed hard "He got you, Cassidy"

Mia grinned at Flynn "I don’t think you’re going to win this one"

"I don’t know I thinkit, Flynn," Nathan said

Flynn shook his head "Kid You’re cocky I kind of like this new side to you But don’t push it"

Nathan laughed

Mia knew they were all joking, so she blew it off, and when Aht that sounded like a great idea But she let the to stop in the restroom first and she’d meet them at the restaurant Mainly, not to be seen with Nathan Even though Jamal ith them and it wasn’t like they would look coupled up, she was still sensitive about it

Probably oversensitive, but it was better to be cautious

So she showed up at the restaurant ten minutes later than everyone else, then sat next to Aave her, and she knew he’d ask her about it later
