I’m not. Peace and love always.

But some things are nonnegotiable in the locker room. Like staying away from people’s siblings.

AG

Good words to live by.

Want to FaceTime?

GE

Give me fifteen. Riley is dropping me off at my place in a few, and then I’ll be free!

Wear the shirt you stole the last time you were here. I like seeing you in my clothes.

GE

Sorry about your early playoff exit, baby.

You all fought hard.

AG

Thanks. It stings. Not how I wanted to go out, but sports wouldn’t be any fun if the same team won every game.

But congratulations to you on advancing to the second round!

GE

Appreciate that! We have our groove down, and we’re taking things as they come.

Bright side to your loss: I get to hang out with you soon!

AG

I’m coming to Baltimore to sign my contract next week!

Think you’ll have a few minutes to see me?

GE

I’ll move goddamn mountains if it means seeing you.

Hang on. I’m going to FaceTime you so we can talk logistics.

Officially official. You’re looking at the new head coach of the Baltimore Sea Crabs!

GE

That’s my girl! Congratulations, Lia. Can’t wait to celebrate you tonight.

Thank god for an off day between games so I can see you.
