Finley leans forward.
“Let me ask you something.”
“What?”
“Has Noah ever looked at another woman since he met you?”
I pause.
“Oh, um, I don’t—I mean how would I know?”
“Well, I’m married to the coach and Dane has been barking like a mad dog about your guy’s head being in the clouds since you started working for the team,” Caro says with a sly grin.“And he’s never complained about that before.Trust me.”
Finley nods as if that proves anything.But still, I don’t know.
“Has Noah ever made you feel invisible?”Finley asks.
I blink.
“No.”
“Has he ever acted like he’s embarrassed of you?”
“Well, no.”
“Has he ever mentioned another woman to you?”
I pause.
“No.”
Carolina grins.
“Chiara, that man practically glows when you walk in.”
I groan again, covering my face.But there’s no denying the tiny spark of hope lighting inside of me.
“What is this?Point out how stupid I’ve been day?You know, this is like the worst pep talk ever.”
A few laughs.A few more sniffs and I look up into four pairs of sympathetic eyes.
“That’s because this isn’t a pep talk,” Finley says.“This is the beginning of a plan.”
Uh-oh.
I lower my hands slowly.
“I don’t like that tone.”
Dani grins.
“You’re about to.”
Annabeth taps the table thoughtfully.
“We leave tomorrow for a week-long tournament.”
My stomach flips.
