She blinks blearily at the clock. “We stayed up way too late.”
“I’ll be fine. I’m high on love.” I kiss her temple and her cheek. “I’ll see you tonight at the game.”
Her eyes flare and she’s suddenly far more alert. “It’s the first playoff game. We had all that sex.”
“It’s a good warm-up.” I pull on a pair of joggers and a T-shirt, then give in to the urge to go back for another kiss. “I love you, Tallulah.”
“I love you, Phillip.”
It feels like a superpower.
CHAPTER 61
FLIP
Tally
How are you feeling?
Flip
Tired and nervous, but no regrets.
Tally
Same, and same. Except I’m a spectator and not a player tonight.
Flip
I’m riding the high of having my girlfriend tell me she loves me.
Tally
We’re twins. I’m riding the high of my boyfriend telling me he loves me, too.
You’ll be great tonight.
Flip
I’m playing to win for you.
Tally
Ilove you.
Flip
I love you, too.
Islide my phone into my bag and take a deep, steadying breath.
“You all right, man?” Stiles asks as he hangs his suit jacket carefully in his cubby.
“I’m fucking awesome.”
He grins. “Yeah, you are.”
“Better stay awesome so we can win this game,” Grace says as he passes.
