She leans into me and hugs me tight. “You still scare me, but not as much.”
It’s notI love you too.
But I’ll take it.

From the text messages of Addie and Duncan, aka The Daddie Chat
Duncan: Coaches are mean evil people and I hate them all (except you).
Addie: I take it your first day of training camp went well?
Duncan: I’m doing voice-to-text messages and I can barely open my mouth.
Addie: Are you home?
Duncan: Yesterday.
Addie: You haven’t been home since yesterday?
Duncan: No yes. I’m home. Forking voice-to-text got it wrong.
Addie: Are you in bed?
Duncan: On the floor. Far as I got.
Addie: Do you need to phone a friend to help you move?
Duncan: I’ll live. Too old for this.
Addie: Too much golf and not enough real cardio in your off-season, hmm?
Duncan: I wish you were here to kiss my boo-boos.
Addie: I hear one of the Berger twins is good for that. Should I have someone send them over?
Duncan: Send Addie a GIF of someone holding up a middle finger.
Addie: *laughing emoji* Message received.
Duncan: How was your game?
Addie: It starts in an hour.
Duncan: Why are you texting me?
Addie: Bathroom break.
Duncan: Are you sitting on a toilet?
Addie: You give the best sexy text talk.
Duncan: Mostly I like picturing you naked. Even half naked. I like you naked.
Addie: And now I’m thinking about YOU naked.
Duncan: You’re welcome. I’m a sexy feast.
