“Your dimples and your ass are not coming to my apartment for waffles.”
Vale looks toward Noah.
“So waffles at Haverhill’s?”
“After showers.”
“Perfect.”
I point at Vale.
“What part of not invited are you struggling with?”
He shrugs.
“Probably the not part.”
Coach blows his whistle again.
“Are we practicing basketball today or discussing breakfast?”
“Basketball,” I say.
Vale answers at the same time.
“Breakfast.”
Coach points toward the baseline.
“Vale. Run.”
His smile disappears.
“What?”
“Since you have enough energy to plan brunch during practice.”
Noah starts laughing.
Coach points again.
“You too.”
“What did I do?”
“You laughed.”
Eli wisely looks at the floor.
I turn away before Coach catches my face.
Vale jogs toward the baseline.
“This is Haverhill’s fault.”
“Enjoy your run.”
He points at me.
