Dane waited for Brooke to answer his question. He couldn’t believe she hadn’t considered the possibility that Susie would take her on. Why travel halfway across the world if you didn’t think you had a chance?

“I honestly don’t know.”

Disappointment flowed through him. The answer seemed to be obvious to him. If he had an opportunity to train with his dream coach, he’d do whatever it took to make it happen. He had, in fact. Sure, he’d only moved to a different state in Australia, not a different country like Brooke would have to. His family wasn’t that far away and he could get to them quickly if there was an emergency. He guessed it wouldn’t be so easy for Brooke if something happened to a member of her family.

There was no doubt that he’d be happy if Susie took Brooke on, and Brooke decided to take her up on her offer. Brooke would then be close to him, enabling them to pursue what was growing between them. He couldn’t ignore how happy he’d been when he opened the door tonight and saw her standing there. He couldn’t ignore knowing there was more between them than a brief Olympic fling. He couldn’t ignore that he would’ve reached out to her if he’d known she was in Australia and hadn’t landed in the same housing accommodation as him.

“I know what I’d do,” he started and then stopped. He couldn’t force what he wanted onto her.

“I know what you’d do.”

He quirked an eyebrow at her. “Oh, yeah, and what’s that?”

“You’d leap at the opportunity. And I know I should, too.” She sighed and her brow furrowed as indecision swept across her face. “But there’s so much to take into consideration.”

“Your family, right?”

“Yep. They’ve given up so much for me to follow my dream. I know they’d tell me to jump at it. But I’d be so far away from them. If Susie does offer to train me and I don’t take it up, I know my parents would be disappointed in me. They want to see me succeed as much as I want to succeed. I want this chance, I really do. But would the cost be worth it?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, say I stay here, and then I don’t do enough to make the team. I’d have spent four years away from my family all for nothing.”

“You don’t know that. It could be the best decision you’ll ever make.” And you’d be here with me and I would love that. He couldn’t voice his inner thoughts, though. This had to be her decision.

“As childish as it sounds, I don’t want to think about it. I’ll make a decision when the time comes.”

“I know you will, princess.”

Dane rubbed a hand up and down her arm, not sure his words or actions were very reassuring. How could he really know how it felt to be a couple of oceans away from his parents and his best mates? Not quite the same as visiting a country and competing there.
