Parker: Who?

Before Dad can answer, I type.

Me: Mary Beth.

Three dots appear.

Greyson: Wait...

Greyson: Why Mary Beth, the e-player?

Me: Maci suggested it.

Almost immediately⁠—

Greyson: Why?

I glance at Maci.

She's suddenly very interested in the plant beside my window.

I smile.

Me: She wasn't sure you knew enough football strategy

I laugh to myself, knowing it will start something.

Greyson: I don’t know enough??? WTF?

Birdie: SHE SAID WHAT??

Noelle: Maci... honey...

Parker: Greyson only won three championships.

J.D.: And two MVPs.

Greyson: I feel attacked.

Maci covers her face with both hands.

"I forgot." She groans.

"I noticed."

She peeks through her fingers. "I'm never living this down."

"No. Hop on and defend yourself.”

Maci: I thought you just threw the ball.

Matt: He did. The receivers made him look good.

Greyson: WTF?
