“Ellie!”

I turn and find TD’s sister, Loree, waving and heading this way. “Hi, Loree. So good to see you again,” I reply as she wraps her arms around my shoulders and gives me a hug.

“What a beautiful night for a football game, huh?” she asks with a smile, turning to take in the sights and sounds of the crowd filing into the bleachers.

“Sure is, though, it’ll get cooler once the sun finishes going down.”

“We brought sweatshirts,” she states, taking a seat beside me. “It’s definitely cooler here already than in Arizona. It was in the lower nineties before we boarded the plane,” she adds, taking a bite of her popcorn. “You remember my husband, Kenton, right? And my boys, Hagen and Rogan. They’re so excited to see Uncle TD in action.”

“Well, it should be a good game. Both teams are two and oh going into this matchup.”

“Ohhh, a true test of wills,” she replies as Logan approaches.

“Hey, guys.”

“Hi, Logan,” Loree greets, as Logan goes to sit down beside Kenton. They immediately fall into a conversation, while the boys sit on the bench below us and point out onto the field.

“There’s Uncle TD!” the younger one, Rogan, announces.

Both boys stand up and start waving the moment TD turns to walk back to the sidelines. He glances up and sees his nephews waving and quickly returns the gesture, a smile spread across his handsome face.

He’s so good with kids, and he clearly adores his nephews.

Loree waves at her brother as well before turning her attention to me. “Oh, before I forget to say something, we’re having some people out at the cabin on Sunday for a cookout, and we’d love it if you and Brody came.”

“What time? I have to work until two,” I state, after mentally running through my weekend schedule.

“Probably mid-afternoon for fishing or whatever, but we’ll eat later, around five.”

I nod, knowing Brody would love to go. He doesn’t mind spending time with the younger boys, especially if he has another opportunity to go fishing. “I can make that work. What can I bring?”

“Just you and Brody.”

“How about a dessert?” I offer.

Loree laughs as Hallie joins us on the bleachers. “What’s this I hear about a dessert? I’m all about the sweets.” Hallie says, making Logan snort. When she turns and glares at him, he just continues talking to Kenton and watching the field as the players warm up, completely ignoring Hallie.

“What was that about?” Loree whispers as she leans toward me.

“They have a love/hate relationship,” I respond.

“No love. It’s hate/hate,” Hallie insists, reaching over and taking some of my popcorn out of the bag.

“If you say so,” I mutter, making Loree laugh.

Blair and Gabe arrive, as well as Ava and Marcus. I don’t see them often, so it’s nice to catch up with how Ava’s fifth grade class is doing, as well as hearing about Marcus’s busy schedule at the mechanic shop all before kickoff. However, now that the game is ready to start, we all stand up and prepare for battle.
