The Whistle Blower
Page 17
Swish. Nothing but net.
Sandra failed to hold back her triumphant laugh, but none of the kids noticed. All the girls squealed and clapped. She could almost see the smoke rolling out of Ethan’s ears.
Everything that Peter threw up went through the hoop. He still couldn’t dribble, pass, or play defense, but boy could he shoot. Sandra glanced at the enraptured looks on the girls’ faces and realized with horror that she might’ve gone too far with her maternal interference. Peter might not get out of this without a girlfriend. But it was too late to stop the train. Peter had social momentum, and there was no slowing him down. Even Jack was starting to verbally kiss his butt.
Will he still be able to shoot tomorrow? she asked God, not expecting an answer.
But clear as day, she heard Bob’s voice. “He will be, but he won’t want to.”
“This isn’t the church angel’s doing, is it?” she asked softly.
“Huh?” Her husband was staring at her, but she ignored him. She was listening intently for Bob’s voice.
“Nope, this one is all me. I figured I owed you.”
She smiled, sure her heart had never been so full. “We make a good team,” she said to Bob.
“I know,” Nate said, and she realized that this too was true. And even though Sammy started to bellow, she savored the moment, vowing to be equally grateful for every moment of her life from now on.
