“Yeah?”
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For tonight. All of it.” She yawns. “For being you.”
“Thank you for trusting me. For being mine.”
“Always yours,” she whispers.
Within seconds she’s out completely, breathing deep and even.
My phone buzzes one more time.
Dex
Is he asleep yet or are they going for round six?
Brody
There’s no way they’re going for round six. Poor girl probably can’t move.
She’s asleep. I win.
Dex

What did Barrett do???
Nevermind. I’m turning off my phone
I silence mine and set it aside.
Tomorrow we fly home. Tomorrow I have to deal with the media circus about the five goals. Tomorrow real life starts again.
But tonight? Tonight is just us. Her in my arms and the memory of everything we did.
