Chapter 37

Hadley walked over to the pitch and looked for Micah. She’d had a taxi drop them off in time for the boys to get changed and go through the team pep-talk, then she’d gone to the refreshment tent to grab a drink and a cookie.

When she saw him, she waved and watched him and his team stretch, to prepare themselves for the game. She said good luck to Micah and Rowan, giving them both motherly hugs, and went to get a decent seat on the side lines.

Settling herself on the grass, she stretched her legs in front of her and leaned back on her palms. The sun was beating down and it was a glorious day, so she was happy to spend her time here, out in the sunshine.

She saw Micah and a few of his friends from the other team, looking over at her. She waved and blew Micah a kiss, winking at him. He smiled, as his friends looked between them, curious and in complete awe.

Micah laughed, as his team mates showed disbelief and excitement. This was the first time he’d allowed her to come to one of his games in about a year, so a lot of the team members hadn’t met her before.

Flirting was harmless, since the boys kept teasing him because he wasn’t dating anyone. Although Maxx insisted that he’d started dating Gracie, she knew that he was keeping it quiet, so he didn’t jinx himself. So all his friends kept ribbing him, talking about how shy and unsure he was around girls. It didn’t do him any harm for his friends to think there was something going on between them. It stopped their teasing, which could get downright rude, and it made Micah feel good, not to be made fun of.

She’d never gone to high school, but from what Micah told her, it was full of sharks, waiting to drag any kid under water when they showed an ounce of weakness. Micah was a gentle soul, unlike his brother, and she’d do anything to protect him.

She’d told Micah, countless times, that there was nothing to be ashamed of just because he was waiting for the right girl. He was afraid of making the wrong choice, which, when she thought about it, made a hell of a lot of sense. He’d spent his entire teenage years watching her pine helplessly over Maxx, only to now end up in a non-serious fling with him. She was proud of Micah for trying to avoid that fate.

Hadley turned back to the game and tutted. Not only had she missed the start of the game, but there was a bigger problem. She got to her feet and walked over to the referee. “Oh, come on. That was totally a foul,” she pointed out, realising that she’d been daydreaming.

“No foul. Please return to your seat,” the referee said in a clipped tone.

She let out a sigh and ran her hand through her hair. “You’re joking. Are you completely blind?” she asked heatedly, as everyone turned to look at her.
