My stomach drops when he says it. “Someone on the… team?”

“It has to be. Why else would she refuse to tell me? She knows very well that I’ve told all the players to stay away from her.”

“Do you really think one of them would defy you? I can’t see any of the guys doing that.” I’m trying to muster every bit of confidence I have, not that I have much left at the moment.

“Half of those guys don’t think with anything but their dicks. I’m telling you, it’s one of them.”

“I’ll see what I can find out then,” I say, gulping.

“Thanks, Cole,” he sighs. “Go and shower. Get out of here and enjoy your day off tomorrow. I’ll see you back here on Monday.”

I quickly stand from the chair. “See ya, Skip.”

I casually walk to the door. Once it closes behind me, I all but sprint down the hallway toward the clubhouse. I can’t help but panic now.

I pull out my phone and fire off a text to Rory.

Cole

Just had another meeting with your dad

Rory

Jesus fuck

The man won’t give it up

Cole

He’s not going to

I had to lie and tell him you haven’t told any of us who you’re seeing

I don’t know how long he’ll believe that

Rory

I really wish he would let me be

Cole

I do, too

But we both know it won’t happen

Rory

God, now I’m going to be anxious all night again

Cole

Come over then

I really want to see you tonight

We’ll have a date night

That should help take your mind off of it
