She loves her country as much as I love mine. That’s why I added a lifetime ticket to every 69ers’ game into the terms along with a promise to fly her home for every game. I wanted her to know I had no intention of stripping her life away from her. I merely wanted to include her in mine.
If I had known she didn’t open my offer, much less peruse the documents inside, I would have pushed the matter with more urgency. Alas, that was only one of the errors I made three years ago. Pretending I wanted her to only be my fuck-buddy was the first, then there were many more smaller blunders along the way.
Mercifully, Skylar is as forgiving as she is beautiful.
After narrowing my eyes at Jonah, I get back to the press conference. The quicker I get this over with, the faster Skylar and I will be in Paxton eating chili with her family before competing in the Wii Summer Sports playoffs. “Two, our children will have automatic dual citizenship. Skylar and I have divided our time between Italy and the US the past three years. That won’t change once our child arrives. We’ll be in Milan during the premier league season. Here for—”
“Go 69ers! Four championships in a row! We’ve got this!”
When my eyes stray to the heckler, Skylar peers at me looking as smug as a pig in mud. She loves riling me about her championship team, but even more than that, she loves me. The ring on my finger proves this without a doubt as does my child growing in her stomach.
I’m still working on converting her to real football, though.
