ANNALISE

Coach Summer pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a sigh. “Just…never be alone with him. Never.”

I stood in her office with Jeri, who was seething beside me.

Coach’s hand fell away. “I’m hoping when the owners get into town for the game this weekend I can talk with them face to face.”

Her pleas had fallen on deaf ears so far. The front office and the entire executive team were sympathetic but didn’t want to deal with the fallout of firing an award-winning documentarian.

The fuckers.

We were holding out hope that the owners would be more understanding. Which meant, in the meantime, we had to grin and bear it.

I didn’t tell Seth any of this. In my mind there was nothing to tell. Nothing had changed.

So why did I feel like I was lying to him?

Jeri bumped my shoulder with hers as we returned to the locker room to grab our stuff. “Still up for a sleepover tonight?”

“If I’m alone in that house another night there might be violence.” I hated being in Rhett’s house. I felt like an interloper. Especially when I had a perfectly nice home a few miles from here. But with Jeri there we could turn it into an old-fashioned sleepover at a friend’s house. She was even bringing pizza.

“Nan has another date with another loser. How does she pick so many losers? It’s an incredible skill, really. But Phoebe is coming. I think I convinced Charley to join us too.”

“You think she’s going to retire at the end of this season?” Charley loved the changes to the team, but she seemed to love the game less and less. She was the oldest member of the Tangerines but it wasn’t like she was ancient. Thirty-four wasn’t old. She’d won gold twice and helped build this team to where it was now, on the cusp of greatness.

But her eyes were tired and more and more often she complained about the grind.

I never wanted to feel that way. I wanted to retire and still yearn to coach or something. I had no idea what the future beyond soccer held and honestly it was only in moments like this that I pondered it at all.

Jeri slung her bag over her shoulder. “I think she has one more season in her.”

The moment we exited the locker room doors there was a camera in our faces. Owen stood to the side, Mercedes glaring daggers at him. “Ah, our great captain and Anna. A moment of your time.”

“Why?” Jeri asked.

I kept my gaze on Mercedes. The glare remained in place.

“Seeing as my access has been limited, I’m having to increase the number of interviews taking place. I far prefer to keep these staged portions to a minimum but your interference this week has made that impossible.”

I saw red. “My interference? You’re the one who peeped on my lunch without my permission!”

“You didn’t seem to mind the five other cameras waiting for you.” He cocked an eyebrow in challenge.

The asshole. “And they weren’t actively filming my date.
