Chapter Fourteen

Reese

I can’t believe my time here in Indy is going by so fast. Being here with Austin the past week and a half has been amazing. The paparazzi still show up when I go to his games, and occasionally when we’ve been out somewhere, but they’ve stopped camping outside his apartment building and following me if I go to the grocery store or the mall.

Austin’s coach agreed to let him miss the practices tomorrow and Saturday, as they don’t have any games until Tuesday, so we can sneak away and he can meet my grandmother. When we fly back to Indy, my parents are joining us for the remainder of the week, to get to know Austin a little more, and will attend the last regular season game while they’re in town.

Once they leave, with the regular season over, it will depend on where the other teams in his division finish the season that will determine who they play first in the playoffs. They’ve already secured home-ice advantage, so we know they’ll start the series at home. I’ll get to stick around for the beginning part of the first round of the playoffs, but then I have to get back to Nashville for some meetings and tour practice before we head back out on the road in a few more weeks. Depending on who they play, I might try and sneak along to some of the other games during the playoffs to help support him as much as I can.

While Austin is at practice, I’ve been filling my days with either reading and truly relaxing during my time off, or working on writing some new songs. I’m looking forward to a writing session I have set up today, with some writers I’ve worked with many times before. Thanks to the internet and video chat, we can virtually meet and work remotely together.

With my notebook out and the ideas I’ve been working on myself ready to be discussed with Stacey and Lee, I set up my laptop on the coffee table and pull up the video chat program, so I’m ready when they call me.

“Hey, chica!” Stacey greets me once our video call is connected a few minutes later. “How’s Indy treating you?”

“It’s been wonderful. I don’t want to leave,” I tell her honestly.

“Good to hear that it’s been good to you. You look great, by the way. Love looks good on you!”

I laugh out loud at her assessment. “I’ll have to agree with you. This break has been just what I needed, and having someone special to spend that time with has made it even better. I’ve also been able to get to know a few of the wives of the other players, and they are all so nice. One just had a baby last week, and she’s the cutest little thing ever!”

“I’m glad that you’re making friends.”

“It’s been so nice, and like I said, the other women are so sweet. They welcomed me right into their little group, like it was nothing.
