I dragged a hand over my face. “This is insane.”
“Yeah.” He let out a breath. “But go enjoy your win, kid. When you’re ready to come out about your relationship with Faye, let me know first.”
“All right,” I answered. “I’m going up now.”
We ended the call and I hurried back to the clubhouse to finish my food quickly before heading up to meet my family.
Upstairs, Agent Pederson stood near a door, and I knew that had to be the suite everyone was in. “Congrats.” He stuck out his hand.
I took it. “Thanks.”
I walked into the room, and Cammie practically launched herself at me.
“There he is!” she yelled, throwing her arms around my neck.
“You screamed loud enough during the game that I heard you all the way at short.” I pulled back.
“Good.” She beamed. “That was the goal. Also, I’m never getting my voice back.”
Tyler shoved in next, grinning. “Rookie of the year, baby.”
“Relax,” I replied, though I couldn’t stop smiling.
Hayden pulled me into a quick hug right after he did. “You did it.”
Mom grabbed me next, holding on tight. “You did so well today,” she whispered.
“I didn’t die,” I joked, and she let out a watery laugh.
“Don’t get cute,” she warned, wiping her cheek. “I’m allowed to be emotional.”
Dad clapped me on the shoulder, then pulled me into a hug. “You good?”
“I’m good. A lot’s happening though.”
He let out a chuckle. “No kidding.”
Gage stepped in close and squeezed my shoulder. “You looked locked in out there. That’s what impressed me. I would have been a nervous wreck.”
“Thanks.” My throat tightened for a second before I forced it down.
Tony gave me a fist bump. “Hell of a day.”
“Yeah, it is.”
Fallon and Rhett both congratulated me with bro hugs, and then I turned and saw Faye standing near the window. When our gazes met, it got easier to breathe.
“You made it,” she said with a sigh.
“Yeah.” I stepped closer. “You okay?”
“I’m fine,” she replied. “Annoyed, but fine.”
“So, where are we on Dylan?” Dad asked.
Faye met my eyes. “Working on it.”
My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I pulled it out to see a text from D in the group chat.
