CHAPTER 16: VICTORIA

The wedding really felt like our goodbye.

In a way, it was our goodbye. Literally.

We’ve barely seen each other since we got back from Denver, and now the first game of the season is in forty-eight hours and he won’t be playing. I assume he’s keeping himself busy because he doesn’t want to deal with the reality of his suspension, but he’s literally never home.

Admittedly, I haven’t called Allen back and told him to go ahead with filing. I’m not sure what I’m holding onto, though. He seemed like he wanted to work on communication between us, and then he cut it off the moment we landed back in Vegas.

I don’t know where Travis has been spending his days, but I’m doing the nanny thing with taking Harper to school in the morning on my way to Ellie’s. I work all day and pick her up after school, and then we come home and I help her with her homework until it’s time to make dinner. It’s monotonous, but it’s a routine, one Harper seems to be thriving on.

“How’s Travis dealing with the season starting tomorrow?” Ellie asks me around lunchtime on Friday.

I shrug. “I’ve barely seen Travis since we got back from Denver.”

Her brows pull together. “Why not?”

“I have no idea. He gets home in time to put Harper to bed and then he goes into his office. I think he’s keeping himself occupied so he doesn’t have to face missing the season. Or maybe he’s spending time at that secret sex club. Who knows?”

“He hasn’t talked to you at all about the suspension?” she presses.

I shake my head. “Why?”

She lifts a shoulder, but her eyes sparkle just a little as if she knows something I don’t.

My brows dip. “What’s going on?”

She just presses her lips into a fake smile as if she’s not talking, and I narrow my eyes at her. She shoots me a look of total innocence, but I get the feeling something’s going on.

And I’m not sure if I like it. I’ve grown close to Ellie along with Leah and Tessa, and I feel like they’re real friends to me now.

But for how long? How long will that last once the divorce goes through and I’m no longer part of the football wife club?

I trudge through my day as that thought plagues my mind.

I get a text from Travis just before it’s time to leave to pick up Harper from school.

Travis: I have some things to take care of this weekend and need to take a quick trip out of town. Are you available to watch Harper?

I would’ve spent the weekend with Harper if Travis was playing on Sunday anyway, so we do what I figured we’d do if he was gone. We do a little reading. We turn on the game for a while even though Travis isn’t there. We cook together, and we have dance party after dance party. We get in the pool and swim, and then we do a little more reading.
