Next stop: Minneapolis

Home of the Summer X Games, circa 2017 – 2020

I thought Philadelphia cold had a bite to it. Nope. I was wrong. Minneapolis doesn’t just have a bite. It has giant monster teeth ready to chew you up and spit you back out. Holy balls, it’s cold. Of course we are here during a week of “abnormally cool temps for this time of year” or some other bullshit statement everyone has said to us about the weather. Apparently, it’s usually a little bit warmer here and, as luck would have it, will be about fifteen degrees warmer. Next week. Call me a baby but I’m a kid that grew up in Texas and now lives in California. I don’t do winter.

Ambling over to the thermostat that doesn’t seem to be doing jack shit to heat up my new hotel room, I listen to my sister prattle on in my ear.

“But is she nice? Not just fake nice but for real nice? No don’t tell me. I don’t want to know. But I kind of want to know.”

I roll my eyes. This is why I’ve avoided her calls for the last couple of weeks. The second she found out I was going to be in close contact with her idol, I knew my cell company would start questioning my data plan and the fact that my minutes usage skyrocketed.

“Yes, Kate. She’s very nice,” I deadpan as I bang on the thermostat again. Why isn’t anything happening?

“Don’t patronize me, Spencer Garrison. This would be like me spending three weeks with Tony Hawk.”

I snort a laugh because she’s dreaming if she thinks her husband would ever let her near a superstar. He’s no dummy. He knows he snagged himself a good woman in my sister and he would never risk her falling for someone else. No hall passes for that man.

“I’m not patronizing you. She’s lovely.”

“Lovely?”

“Yeah. She’s funny and witty and so good with words. Well. Words on paper anyway.” I smile when I think about how not good she is with words in person sometimes. “She makes me laugh and she’s pretty good at photography. When she laughs, she does this weird thing—”

Kate gasps, stopping my tangent. “Oh. My. God. You like her!”

Shit. The last thing I need is for my sister to blast that on social media, so I go right into denial mode.

“Of course I like her, Kate. She’s a likeable person.”

“Oh no you don’t. You like her like her, Spencer, and don’t try denying it.” She gasps again, and I know where this is headed. “Ohmygod, do you love her? She’s going to be my sister-in-law, isn’t she?”

“Slow your roll there, crazy pants.”

I spend the next twenty minutes doing damage control with Kate. I’m not sure she’s buying a single thing I’m saying, so finally, I cut her off. “Kate, I know this is exciting for you and I get it. Adi is pretty fantastic and you’re right, I do like her. We’re becoming friends. And,
