I didn’t think about the fact that I wouldn’t have to wear my wedding ring if I didn’t want to. There’s no one here I need to convince of anything.
“I’m married,” I say simply.
“Again, I don’t want to come off too forward, but is it serious? With you moving across the country and all.”
I raise my brow and he lifts his hands in surrender.
“Too forward. Got it.”
I chuckle to break the tension. “Not too forward, but I also don’t know how to answer that. And even if I were single, the last thing I should be doing as the only woman on staff is going on a date with a potential new coworker, but I am flattered that you asked.”
“I understand. When I took this job and left Atlanta, my ex-wife and I both knew it was over. It was a way for us to create distance and finally call it. So, I wasn’t sure if this was the same for you.”
I shake my head no. I don’t know what’s going on with our situation, but I know it’s not that.
“And by the way,” he continues, “you won’t be the only woman here. I couldn’t even tell you how many women work on staff here.”
I perk up at that. “Really?”
“Oh yeah. Good luck getting into the women’s restroom on the clubhouse level. There’s a constant line.”
Chapter 26

“Mills just texted.” Kai sets his phone back in his locker stall. “They’re in the hall.”
I grab my hat—a different one than I sent with Kennedy—and follow my brother to the hall off the clubhouse.
Zanders, Stevie, Ryan, Indy, Miller, and Rio are waiting for us.
“Hey, guys. Thanks for coming,” I say, approaching the group.
Zanders puts his hand in mine, the other going around and tapping the back of my shoulder. “Big bro announces his retirement, we figured we better get to as many games as we can.”
We say hi to everyone individually, before Kai stays put with Miller, his arms folded around the front of her shoulders.
Other than Rio and me, everyone is paired off.
I fucking hate it.
I’ve gotten so accustomed to having Kennedy by my side, especially here at the field. All of this is a preview to next season. But my brother won’t be in his uniform. He’ll be visiting, just like the rest of these guys.
“Is Kennedy going to come out, or is that dickhead doctor keeping her too busy?” Indy asks.
“No, she’s not here actually. She’s in San Francisco.”
“Oh, that’s right!” Stevie says, so much excitement in her voice. “How’d her interview go?”
I hesitate, because the truth is, I don’t know yet. I’ve been too afraid to ask.
My eyes flit to Miller’s, silently begging for her help.
“Kennedy said she’d fill us in when she got home,” she says in rescue.
“Sunday night family dinner,” Ryan reminds me. “About time you brought her, don’t you think?”
“There’s my girl.” Monty steps out of his office into the hallway, eyes on Miller.
