Chapter Seven
TAG
“Knock, knock.”
Pushing open the door, I find Olivia with her back to me, sitting at her desk, typing away. Her hair is pulled back into a complicated twist at the back of her head. Blue eyes are focused solely on her computer as she continues typing.
“I brought lunch to make this a more productive meeting.”
“We need to get your paperwork done. We don’t have time for lunch.” She doesn’t have to turn around to know it’s me.
“Everyone has to eat at some point.”
I head into her office, uninvited, and set down the brown paper sack on her desk.
“Tag.” Her voice is wary. “I don’t need lunch. We just need to finish your paperwork.”
“I do.” I drop into the seat across from her and take out my sandwich. “Gotta get my energy before practice.”
Olivia spins in her chair, crossing her arms over her chest.
