“Whatever. You know I’m right. See you tonight.”
“Have fun,” I call out as I walk away.
“It’s football, Lex. The greatest game in the world. It’s always fun.”
It’s my turn to shake my head.
My family loves football. We eat, breathe, and sleep it.
My grandfather played and eventually coached. My Uncle Declan is a hall of fame quarterback and now the Kings coach. Two other uncles are former pro players, and one coaches with Declan now. And I have one cousin and one brother playing now. Football is life.
We have a few cousins who play pro hockey too.
We like to tease that football is the superior sport.
But is it really teasing if we all know it’s the truth?
Lexie
Anyone up for West End tonight after the game?
Brea
Works for me.
Saylor
Me too.
Aurora
I’m teaching sunrise yoga tomorrow at five a.m.
Brea
I thought Lexie was the old lady.
Lexie
Hey!
Saylor
Is she wrong?
Lexie
Whatever. Why is Dillan’s phone on do not disturb?
Aurora
No clue. Where’s Elodie?
Brea
I saw her this morning. She’s going into the studio to work with her uncle on her album. She’ll be at his house for the month.
