Page 90 of The Chemistry Coach
Daisy didn’t want Cross to fit with Hazy and Valentine.She wanted Connor to come home.The Connor line should be the staple of the franchise.“I can’t change their style.”
“I’m not asking you to.Teach them to play as a team.Help fold Cross into the group.”Coach Bree handed her a stack of papers.“Here’s my proposal.Look it over.”
He circled to his side of the desk, a clear dismissal.It took everything Daisy had to walk out of there calmly, her conflicting emotions encouraging her to do a happy dance and burst into tears all at once.This was everything she’d dreamed of.
…Almost.
Chapter 30
Connor
Keepinghiswordtohis friends, Connor lay in bed and considered inviting Daisy to visit him in Nashville.She’d be pissed at him, but he hoped he could convince her to come around.
The timing could be perfect.She didn’t have a job.The Freeze season ended soon, since they wouldn’t be making the playoffs.She could still record the podcast.Podcast hosts worked remotely all the time.
Connor sat up, running a hand through his bedraggled hair and dangling socked feet off the side of the bed.He’d ask her.She wouldn’t say no.He would grovel if he needed to.
Bracing himself for the onslaught, he grabbed the stupid device off his bedside table and powered it on.As expected, his phone dinged rapidly from the moment the screen lit up.He ignored the notifications from his agent and teammates in search of a flower he didn’t find in the sea of messages.
Hazy and Lover’s names appeared over and over.
He opened the thread from Hazy.
Dude where are you?Daisy is waiting.
We’re still in the family room.
Did you leave?????
we’re going to wait 10 minutes then take Daisy home
Not fucking cool man.You threw her to the sharks and then didn’t show up
I can’t believe you left without telling Sarah
This fucking sucks.Come back
Ugh.Now I know how you felt all year trying to play with new people
Lover’s thread displayed similar sentiments, but in a kinder package.
I introduced Daisy to Gwen!
Will you be done soon?
We should get ice cream after this.The place is open til 1
Daisy and Roxie are in for ice cream.When will you be done
Don’t worry we got you.You should call your sister tho *picture of Dylan with an action figure
Why haven’t you called Daisy?She’s upset and worried
Omg how am I supposed to adjust my play again for this new guy
CALL DAISY!!!!!She’s so excited!We wish you were here for this
After that they had created a group chat to tag-team their guilt trip.
