We pivot from excited uncles to concerned brothers and colleagues. One of the things our dad pushed for us when we were drafted was that we should have an agent of our own, not share one with him or our brothers, so we could always talk shop without having a conflict of interest.
Camden
Everything okay?
Wyatt
Talks stalled a bit for my extension, and I want to try something fresh.
Forrest
Keep us posted, you’re a stud
Logan
You gotta do what feels right
Wyatt
Thanks buds
And it’s true for myself, too. I have to do what feels right, and that means finding Francesca as soon as I fucking can.
CHAPTER 10
FRANKIE
The whole flight back to Los Angeles, I’m in a daze.
Sloane and Liz are both hung over, and I let them assume the same for me. I probably am, anyway, but I also have so much adrenaline coursing through me that I feel like I’ve worked a non-stop ER shift.
My brain won’t stop spinning through the next steps. I need to find a lawyer. I start an orthopedic surgery rotation tomorrow, so I’m not surewhenI’ll have time for that, but I need to do it sooner than later.
At some point, Logan is going to figure out who I am, and then all hell might break loose.
I don’t want to get sucked into any of that.
“We’re going to stop at the grocery store on the way home,” Sloane says.
“Do you want to have dinosaur soup for dinner?” Liz asks.
“Yeah, sounds good,” I say absently.
“We should definitely stock up on penis protein powder, too,” Sloane adds. “Or did you get enough of that last night?”
I blink them into focus. “Pardon?”
They exchange a look.
“Nothing,” they say in unison.
“I want to get cold brew concentrate,” I say, pretty sure we’d been talking about groceries.
“Put it on the list right below penis protein powder,” Liz says brightly.
“What?”
“What?” Sloane winks at me. “Nothing.”
