He tightened his hold on her waist. “Yeah, well, got to give your followers a reminder of us every now and then.”

Something tugged on the back of his turnout pants.

Scarlette sent him a sheepish expression as she played with the end of her ponytail. “I know that we already had the huge slide once, but do you think Coach B could get us another one to celebrate?”

Eddie erased his smile. “No.”

Scarlette’s shoulders drooped. “You don’t want us to get spoiled.”

Eddie bumped Bianca’s healed shoulder. “Do you want to tell her?”

Scarlette’s eyes widened. “Tell me what? You know I can keep a secret.”

Bianca grinned. “Team cookout, water slide, and movie night at the fire station with marshmallow milkshakes.”

Eddie shrugged. “Plus a ride on the fire truck.”

Scarlette pumped her fist and sprinted for the dugout. “We get to ride with Eddie’s friends on the fire truck.”

Bianca slipped her fingers around his. “So, who do I need to talk with to officially snag the assistant coaching spot again next year?”

Eddie brought the back of her hand up to his lips and pressed a kiss to her skin. “That someone would be me.”

She winked. “Always.”

Because the two of them were more than a deal—they were a team. The kind where two hearts would someday become one.
