NICO
Unlike you, I take bets seriously.
NICO
I pay out what is owed.
COOPER
Stassi’s home, so I assume you can afford a hotel with those endorsements coming in ;)
NICO
The bestest hotel room, the greatest. There’s never been a better hotel room.
COOPER
You’re sounding like my mother.
NICO
When do I get to meet her?
COOPER
Funny.
Speak of the devil! A notification popped up at the top of Cooper’sphone.
MOM
Why aren’t you at the stadium?
COOPER
Did you have a tracker implanted in me the day I was born?
MOM
You’re the leader of the team. What you do gives permission for others to do the same. Be a leader, Cooper.
COOPER
Like you?
MOM
Like your father was.
The woman needed to make up her mind on whether she adored Cooper’s father or hated him. Cooper could never quite tell. He flipped back to his conversation with Nico and disregarded the barrage of messages from his mother.
COOPER
We have a deal.
NICO
That tight hole ismine.
