I never thought of it like that. When I picture goats, I picture them head-butting each other out of the way at the petting zoo to get to the kids who are feeding them. Goat yoga actually sounds pretty fun.

“I stand corrected. That sounds pretty awesome, Sadie. You already talked to the owner about running a class in his building?”

Sadie nods vigorously and clasps her hands together in apleading motion. “I did! I have his availability in my email. Can we do it? Please, please, please?”

At this point, I’m desperate to fix whatever is going on with the team, and if some team bonding with goats is what it takes, who am I to stand in the way?

“Let me text Hunter and Lincoln. I know Hunter will be on board, but it’s Mr. Grumpy Coach I’m worried about.”

She hops off the bed to grab her laptop. “I’m sure you could bribe him with a little sexy time,” she says. “If you know what I mean.”

I grab my phone from her bedside table and open our text thread. “You know…I may have to stoop to that level on this one.”

“You poor thing.”

We both laugh before I shoot off a text to Lincoln and Hunter.

Maybe we need to do some team bonding? The stress of the playoffs may be getting to the guys. There’s a lot of pressure on all of us to succeed this year.

Lincoln

Not a bad idea, Montgomery. Got anything in mind.

Actually, I do. Goat Yoga.

Hunter

HELL YEAH!

Lincoln

I’m sorry… did you say goat yoga?

I sure did. It actually has a lot of benefits and I think it could be a great idea.

Lincoln

Is that even a thing? Would we have to go to a farm?

Hunter

It’s totally a thing. Sadie already talked to a guy about using his space for a class. This is brilliant, Ellie.

Lincoln

I don’t know you guys… Sounds a bit crazy to me.

Do you trust me?

Lincoln

You know I do.

Then it’s settled. We’re doing goat yoga.

Hunter

This is the best day of my life.
