They look like they’re arguing, but her hand is still on him. He looks up at me, but I can’t take my eyes away from the spot.

Then he’s stepping away from her, shooting her a glaring look. It fills me with a bit of relief.

The coach calls out for Logan, and he leaves Stacy behind, joining his teammates.

It takes a bit for the gross feeling to pass, but then I start getting into the game.

“Get him!” I scream, jumping to my feet. I watch as Logan runs after the guy with the ball in his arms. The whole stadium is losing their shit because if this guy gets a touchdown, we’re tied. If not, we win. It all comes down to this moment.

When Logan tackles the guy to the ground, the whole place goes insane.

My eyes flick over to the timer, and it’s done. It’s over. We won.

“Fuck yeah!” Elijah jumps up next to me and screams.

Benny is in my arms as I cheer and jump around. Good thing I brought those noise-cancelling headphones for him because his poor little ears wouldn’t be able to handle it.

The team all rushes out together, celebrating their win.

I lose sight of Logan, but my eyes drift over to the cheerleaders who are jumping around and cheering for the win.

Dread fills my stomach when Stacy’s eyes scan the crowd and land on me. She stops moving, brows furrowing, and I might be far away, but I can see the pure rage in her eyes when she sees me holding her son.

Fucking hell. We were so damn close not having to deal with her this trip. But something tells me, now that Stacy has seen me with Benny, she’s not going to let this go easily.

“Shit.” Elijah must see what I see.

“This isn’t going to be good, is it?” I ask him.

He gives me a grim face. “Knowing Stacy, I don’t think so.”

Maybe my helping out with Benny is going to cause more harm than good. Maybe he would be better off hiring a nanny or a babysitter to help out.

But I like spending time with Benny. He’s quickly become an important person in my life. I don’t want to stop watching him because of her.

“Let’s let him enjoy his win as long as possible before she ruins it,” Elijah says.

Nodding, I don’t bother to look back at her as I get Benny into his stroller, and we leave. Whatever happens, I’m on Logan’s side. I’ll always be on his side.

We aren’t having any luck leaving to head back to the hotel. The place is packed, and everyone is leaving at the same time. The furthest we get is the ground floor.

“Excuse me!” I shout, trying to get people to move. No one hears me, and if they do, they don’t listen.

“Shit,” Elijah mutters. “We can’t try to push our way through, Benny might get hurt.”

“No, I don’t want that to happen.” I sigh, running a hand through my hair. “We can just wait it out, I guess.”

“I’ll text Logan and let him know. He should be heading back to the locker room right about now. He might not see it for a bit, but it’s not like we’re going anywhere anytime soon.”

“Is it like this every game?” I ask him as we take a seat on a bench next to the elevators.

“Pretty much.” He laughs. “Although, this is Benny’s first game.”
