“Yesterday,” she said.

I reached out and squeezed Teo’s shoulder to keep from laughing. He clasped my hand with his own and squeezed it until there was no blood circulation left.

“And we’re so happy you’ve joined us,” Teo said in his typical friendly voice. “Would you like another beer? I’m going to get some more food.”

Chelsea nodded gratefully while Chris sank noticeably lower in his seat. What a jackass. But I was happy to see him affected by Teo’s bringing me since that’s what Teo had wanted out of all of this.

And if I was a little sick to my stomach… well, it was probably the relish. I excused myself from the conversation with Logan and his sister and stood up to meet Teo back by the counter where the food was set up inside the suite.

He walked right up to me and leaned his forehead on my shoulder. “Help,” he whispered. “I think my ears are broken.”

I put my arms around him and kissed the top of his hair, inhaling the lemony aftershave I remembered from the first time we got together. Everything about him lit up my senses.

“Hey, Tee,” Chris called. “Will you grab me another beer too?”

We pulled apart so Teo could grab them some beers from the fridge. I poked through the rest of the food offerings, grabbing a few carrots and dip. I liked Teo’s friends. With the exception of Chris himself, they all seemed friendly and fun. Jay flirted with me but didn’t seem to mean anything by it. Logan was fascinated by my job and asked a ton of questions, and their friend Sam had made sure to offer me something to drink every time they got up to get anything.

As I stood there glancing out at the game and munching on carrot sticks, I suddenly realized that this was the exact point Millie had been trying to make to me for so long. Here I was, enjoying a baseball game on a gorgeous spring day with a welcoming group of interesting, friendly people. It was like having an actual social life outside of a hookup app or a quick dinner with a coworker on an overnight trip.

I pulled out my phone to text my sister.

Jack: I’m at a Cubs game with Teo’s friends. You were right. I’ve been missing out on having fun.
