Chapter 9

A week later, riding high on elation born of amazing roller derby and the even more amazing knowledge that her feelings were reciprocated, Gayle—accompanied by the rest of the Sisterly Love All-Stars—played the final game of the tournament.

They’d blasted through the first. They’d killed it on the second. And now, this final bout, was for everything.

Gayle knew she was at the top of her game, and she could tell her teammates were, too. The only concern was whether they would push themselves so hard that they overworked themselves. Gayle kept an eye on Megan and her shoulder, but she seemed to be fine, and in fact, she replaced Janine in the explosive final jam.

Gayle couldn’t pay much attention to how Megan was doing as jammer; she was on the track, busy keeping the Big Apple Roller Babes’ jammer from getting through. The opposing blockers were huge, and Gayle had a blast fighting them, but her heart was in her throat the whole time.

And then they lost. Second place in the entire tournament… but only by a single point.

Shelly and Gayle couldn’t talk much on the drive back, because this time it was day and David was awake and insisting on taking a turn driving.

But it was okay. They didn’t need privacy to talk about their relationship, because they were too busy talking about that incredible final game.

Gayle hadn’t worried too much about being unable to get into deep talks about their relationship, because she and Shelly had spent all their time together talking about the tournament. David had joined in enthusiastically (when he wasn’t sleeping), which Gayle was happy to hear—if only because it obviously made Shelly happy that he was getting into it.

But now she was starting to long for privacy. The tournament was over, and it would be time to get back to normal life on Tuesday, when Monstrous Regiment would be practicing as a full team again.

She and Shelly really had to figure out what they were doing with their relationship.

Luckily, Shelly had already arranged to drop David off first. They were quiet as they drove back, but, just as Gayle had hoped, Shelly parked near her own house instead of taking Gayle home. “I assume someone’s taking care of Kirk,” she said as they both got out of the car.

Gayle nodded. “My roommate Madison has been walking him and making sure he has food. I told her I wasn’t sure what time I’d be home tonight, so until I text her, I think she’ll be around to take care of him.”

“Tonight.” Shelly opened the trunk and looked down into it. “So… no spending the night?”

Gayle’s heart rate sped up. “Uh, no, I can’t. I have work in the morning, and I don’t have a good change of clothes in my bag.” She cursed herself silently. She should have thought ahead to the possibility of spending the night with Shelly. Why hadn’t it occurred to her? Preparing for an extra night away from home wouldn’t have taken much more effort.
