Or maybe I said that to Jago.

There had been a time when I brought everyone from the team out for breakfast.

When life felt heavy, Reggie’s pancakes made things feel better for a second or two.

The walk back to my place was slow and quiet.

April and I held hands. No care in the world.

I ran a lot of scenarios through my head.

The ironic part of the whole thing was it had nothing to do with logistics.

She didn’t live halfway across the world.

I had the entire off-season in my back pocket.

That meant I could crash at her place. For her to repay the favor that I extended by letting her stay with me.

No. There was something else lingering.

We both knew it too.

Every now and again we’d exchange a glance.

All the way back to my apartment.

As soon as I entered the place, I looked right at April’s bags.

I nodded.

It can’t be sad.

I crouched down and grabbed one of the bags and unzipped it.

“Hey, what are you doing?” April asked.

I ignored her.

I stuffed my hand into the bag and pulled out a white bra with laced edges.

“I’ve never seen this one, babe,” I said.

April’s face turned red. “What the hell? Put my bra down, Seb!”

“Sure,” I said.

I dropped it to the floor and stuck my hand inside her bag again.

I dug around and grinned.

“What do we have here?” I asked.

I pulled my hand out and had a pair of yellow panties dangling from my pointer finger.

“Definitely not a thong,” I said. “I would love to see these on you though. With that white bra? Damn.”

April dropped to her knees. “What are you trying to prove right now? Huh?”
