By the time I’m out of my gear, Coach is congratulating us on the win and letting us know practice tomorrow is canceled in favor of a rest day.
Even better.
Grabbing my towel, I head to take a quick shower. I’m ready to get the hell home. When I get back to my locker, I grab my phone.
It’s lit up with texts from Alice.
Froggie
That was an insane goal!!
Yeah!
Okay, c’mon
You guys got this
That block!
YES!
YOU WON!
Next time, can you make it easier on us?
That was way too stressful
I smileas I type out a quick response.
Declan
Sorry, Froggie
Next time, we’ll try and score ten goals in the first period to put it away early
I would like that
But that goal!
Declan, that was amazing!
Thanks
Not even the best part of my night
Oh yeah?
What would that be?
Getting to crawl into bed next to you when I get home
I’ll be waiting
I can’t waitto get home to Alice.
