I step inside Trinity Bar, the place already a bit rowdy for an early afternoon. I look around the bar but I don’t see Niall anywhere. I pull out my phone and, yup, he sure did send me a text he was here.

“Help you lad?” The bartender drops a coaster in front of me on the bar top. “You looking for a drink or someone in particular?”

“Yeah. I’m looking for my friend and, well, his friends. I guess they meet up here to watch soccer?”

“Football,” the bartender says sharply, with a grimace to match.

“Apologies. Yes, football. Still getting used to that.”

“I take it they’re Spurs supporters. You’ll find them upstairs today. Bar’s also open up there for the game.”

“Appreciate it. Again, sorry about the whole soccer thing.” The bartender waves me away and moves on to help someone else. I climb the stairs and find a large group, with Niall right in the middle, all decked out in matching jerseys.

“Hey!” Niall waves, gesturing to the open seat next to him.

“Sorry I didn’t get the memo on the matching jerseys.”

“Kits.” The brooding, but very sexy, man sitting across from Niall corrects me.

“Fuck. Right. Kits. I need to get my bearings if I’m going to survive here.”
