Ty approached me and smirked, taking my hands in his. “I got awesome, right?”

“How? When? What?” I still wasn't sure which question I wanted to ask first.

He pulled me into a hug and whispered into my ear. “Let’s get out of here and talk.”

“I can’t, the kids have to….”

“Nah, that was it. They’re going to keep practicing but this was my show tonight.”

“I cannot believe Galena went along with this.”

“Shit, it was her idea,” he pulled back and looked at me. “I stopped by one night to see if you were here and she had this fucking brilliant idea.” He rolled his eyes and waved his hands in the air. “She was all like, ‘Dahhhling, I have a brilliant idea.' And my dumb ass was like, ‘What?’ So yeah, here we are. Been here every night for three weeks to practice, well unless we were out of town for a game.”

“How did you know I would answer your note today?”

“I didn't care, that was just a bonus. I was going to show up and dance for you no matter what.”
