Just Another Football Romance

“Anyway I wanted to tell you that you’re doing a great job…”
“We were friends, well I considered us friends.”

Elle Taylor, former collegiate athlete and current kindergarten teacher, takes a leap and drunkenly DM’s a famous football star. Before he made it to the pros, Elle remembers the nerdy “man giant” from their freshman year at state school together. Memories of projects and parties are fresh in her mind, but she doesn’t expect him to remember her, let alone, reach back out to her.

“I remember you… my number hasn’t changed.”
“We were friends, sorry if I ever made you think otherwise.”

Archer Bell, quarterback and Super Bowl hopeful, has a hard time believing Elle’s message to meet up just to talk is authentic. He’s been grumpy, distracted, and off his game ever since the scandal. His coach and publicist might be against what he does next, but at least he waited until the following day.
