"Did you work your way through school as a stripper?" She asks through the bathroom door.
"I didn't have to work my way through school, Freshman."
"Oh that's right, you come from a chicken farm where the chickens get to live forever."
I open the door.
"You're real funny."
"Am I?"
"You're real pretty too."
"Am I?"
"The prettiest."
"I'll ask you again. What are we doing?"
"We're falling in love."
"We are?"
"I definitely am. Aren't you?"
I pray to God her answer is yes.
"And you're ready for one woman?" she asks.
She can't be serious.
"There's only been you since the minute I saw you again at the restaurant, Sabrina. I only see you."
"What about this text Jason sent me? What about your ex Adriana?"
"You know all there is to know. She was my college girlfriend who left me high and dry on our wedding day. But believe me when I say that her leaving me was nothing but the universe correcting its course and correcting my life. It had to happen, so that I would meet you."
"Are you sure you're over her? You sound angry when you talk about her."
"I was a kid, Sabrina, and of course I was angry. It was embarrassing as shit to be jilted like that, but there's nothing about not having her in my life that I regret. I only see you."
She swallows. "And I only see you."
I'm relieved to hear it.
"What did you think of my game?"
"I thought you did an amazing job leading your team to victory. You were awesome."
I beam with pride.
"Will you come to next week's game?"
"It's possible since I may have a lot of free time on my hands after this weekend."
"I'll fix it. I promise. Or you know what? You can leave Carson and start your own firm. Would you like that?"
"With you as my only client?" She smiles wrapping her arms around my waist.
