Chapter 17

“I think Becky worded this perfectly.” Ainsley shook her head as Silver stopped chewing her nails and glanced up from the notes on the press release Becky had put out the other day. She didn’t look convinced.

Which was why Ainsley was at Silver’s house. On a Saturday.

She didn’t mind, she’d wanted to go over everything herself, along with the transcripts from the briefing, so she could have answers for the reporters still emailing and calling Silver every hour. Being able to bring Sawyer was a plus. They still didn’t know many people in the area and a few hours work before a dinner invite was more than welcome. If only the work was leading anywhere besides Silver becoming more stressed.

No matter how often both Ainsley and Becky assured her everything would be fine, she kept fussing over every word, every opinion piece by the media, and asking how the public was reacting. A simple retweet shouldn’t have caused this much drama, but with nothing confirmed regarding the possible sale of the team, and the players on their best behavior since pranks had gotten a few of them suspended, there wasn’t much else to report.

Which was normal. And happened to every team.

Had happened to the Cobras before.

But the team’s future hadn’t been uncertain then. Back at the office people constantly told Ainsley Silver wasn’t usually like this. Sure, she was high maintenance, but she’d never obsessed over minute details to this extent. More than one coworker had offered to bring her coffee, or run an errand for Ainsley if she needed a break.

Ainsley had a feeling her coworkers were afraid she’d quit. Which was reassuring, since it meant they didn’t know her employment options were limited. Or why. But they didn’t need to worry, she absolutely loved her job and Silver was the best boss she’d ever had.

Still, there was no reason to let her keep going over these papers. They had all the information they needed and it was clear Becky knew what she was doing.

“Don’t give me that look, I know.” Silver shook her head and smiled ruefully. “And you’re right. This was handled well. The public is already getting bored. We can relax until the next bit of insanity.”

“Can you though?” Ainsley grinned at Silver’s shrug. Little running feet drew her attention as Silver’s daughter, Amia, came into the room with Sawyer’s new Cobras hat in her mouth. Sawyer chased her, pretending to run while going very slowly.

“Mama!” Amia shoved the hat at Silver, then hid behind her mother’s chair. “Boy. Bat!”

“Hat!” Sawyer burst out laughing as he leaned against Ainsley’s chair, his hair all rumpled and his eyes shining. “She keeps calling me boy. But I almost got her saying ‘hat’.”

“She’ll get there. I’m happy you’re having fun.” Ainsley looked up at her son, feeling a little twinge in her heart at the way his eyes lit up when Amia started running again, looking back to make sure he’d follow. She hadn’t been sure he’d enjoy
