I incline my head toward her cell. “Can I help?”

“Not really sure this is something you can help with.”

“Try me.”

“Fine.” She moves over and gives me the spot right next to her in the bed so I can watch as she looks through images on the app.

After a few minutes of scrolling, Josephine stops. A pasta recipe with broccoli rabe is what she’s looking at. “Looks good, right?”

“It does.”

“Great, that means I’ll add it to my recipe board.”

She taps on the saved board and then adds it.

“Can I see that?” I reach my hand out.

“Sure.”

I take her phone in my hand and scroll through the pictures in the saved folder, noting in my mind the recipes and foods she’s deemed her favorite. Perfect.

A plan forms in my mind of what I’ll send her later today. She can’t come to the game, but I know she’ll be watching it from here, so I’ll send her favorite snack, and by the looks of it, it’s donuts.

“What are you smiling about over there?”

“Nothing.” I smirk.

For the next hour, we play on her phone, and then, with a quick kiss on her cheek, I get up and head to the door.

“Kick ass tonight.”

“I plan to.”

I walk out of her room and let myself out of the house without saying goodbye. Once I’m no longer in earshot, I grab my phone and call Molly.

“Hey,” she answers.

I press the ignition, and my car roars to a start. “Where are you?”

“Again. Hello, Dane. How are you? I am fine, thank you.”

“Anyone ever say you’re annoying?” I pull the car out of the driveway and start heading home to prepare for today’s game.

“Anyone ever tell you that you have no manners?” She snickers into the phone. Gotta love my sister. Never one to bite her tongue.

“Yeah, a few times,” I admit, most likely shocking my little sister.

She laughs. “What do you need?”

“I need you to find me the best donuts in town.”

“You don’t eat donuts.”

“They aren’t for me.”

“Look at you, taking my advice and trying to win back the woman you love.”

“Molly,” I playfully scold.
