Chapter Thirteen

Maisy woke up to a daisy on the pillow next to her. Underneath it was a note. She wrapped herself in one of the sheets they had worn last night and moved into the living room, sinking into the couch.

Conference call and a player meeting. I’ll call you later about tonight.

Sam

She frowned. Where was the part about last night? The passionate connection? Even the hot sex? Either Sam was unimaginative with morning-after notes or she might have just received the ultimate blowoff. Or maybe he just had cold feet.

She tossed the note on the couch beside her, feeling a bit deflated. Like she’d just been paid off.

Wait a minute. That couldn’t be right. She had been the one to attack Sam last night. She was the one in charge. Wasn’t that a good transformation? She was stronger now. Not like before, when another one-page note had devastated her.

The first year Kevin was on the Turbos, he’d taken his mother to the All-Star Game. Maisy couldn’t imagine Sarah Halderman enjoying all the parties and ceremonial activities. But she’d come back with all sorts of stories of famous people she’d met. The second year that Kevin was named to the All-Star team, Maisy had been crazy with excitement because it was her turn to accompany him.

But in the weeks prior to the All-Star break, Maisy had been overextended. Mom had a bad episode that spring and was having trouble getting around. Maisy had done her best to divide her time between Indianapolis and Comeback. But it was hard. She was finishing up her master’s degree in elementary education. And like she always did, she’d attended every home game Kevin played. The long hours between the ballpark, school, and home had finally caught up with her. She’d gotten sick.

Afraid he might catch her bad cold before the All-Star Game, Kevin had stayed with a buddy in Indianapolis instead of the apartment they shared. When the cold had lingered, Kevin asked her not to come to the All-Star Game with him. He’d told her it would be boring.

Maisy hadn’t had the energy to argue. Kevin had gone solo.

He’d come home distracted. Even though she was feeling better and she’d missed him, he hadn’t been interested in sex. He hadn’t talked about the week or the parties or the inning the National League had scored two runs on him. She should have known something was going on.

All-Star parties were notoriously lively. It didn’t excuse the way Kevin’s arm was around Alexa Ventura in a picture inside Sports Illustrated. The two stars were wrapped around each other well into the early hours, the article said. It went on to blame Kevin’s poor All-Star performance on his extracurricular activities.

Even then, Maisy hadn’t wanted to confront Kevin. Somewhere in her weak and pitiful mind, she’d thought he would have a good explanation.

That was when he’d left her a one-page note. “Dear Maisy, I met some body…”

She had been so angry that she pulled out a pencil and corrected his poor spelling and grammar before throwing it in his face.
