Adalyn
The head rolled o his shoulders and halted at my feet with a thump.
Goosebumps erupted at the top of my spine and spread down my body.
I should have been familiar with the scene. I should remember something I
had lived and was watching on a screen. But I didn’t. So when silence fell,
plunging the Miami Flames’ facilities into a sudden vacuum, my heart dropped
to my stomach. And when the voice of one of the camera guys was caught by the
mic asking in a whisper, “Dude, are you recording this?” I was pretty sure I
stopped breathing.
Oh God. What—
The top of Paul’s head popped out of the headless neckline of Sparkles, the
mascot’s costume, and a wave of panic washed over me.
Paul blinked, anger and shock meshing in his expression before spitting a
“What the fuck is wrong with you?”
My lips parted, as if some instinctual part of my brain wanted to answer him.
Now. Even when it wouldn’t make a dierence. “I—”
The image on the screen froze, forcing my gaze up to the face of the man
holding the iPad that had reproduced the thirty seconds that had been missing
from my memory.
“I think we’ve seen enough,” Andrew Underwood, CEO and managing
director of the Miami Flames FC and Miami-based business mogul, stated.
“I beg to dier,” the man by his side said with a light chuckle. “This is a crisis
meeting and we should make sure we have all the details.” A crisis meeting? “In
fact,” David continued, “I think we should play it again from the beginning. I’m
not sure what Adalyn was grunting while decapitating our dear Sparkles. Was it
just angry growling or actual words she was—”
“David,” Andrew interjected, dropping the device on the unnecessarily large
desk separating them from me. “This is serious.”
“It is,” the younger man agreed, and I didn’t need to look at him to know he
was smirking. I knew that smirk. I’d kissed that smirk. Dated it for a complete
year. Then, worked under it when he’d been handed the position I’d dreamed of
my whole life. “It’s not every day we get the head of communications of an MLS
club gunning for the team’s mascot in six-inch heels.” I sensed—heard—that
smile widening, and I felt my face turning to stone. “A shocking turn, surely. But
also—”
“Unacceptable,” Andrew nished for him. “Everyone in this room knows
that.” Those pale blue eyes met mine, sharp and unforgiving. Which wasn’t a
surprise. I also knew that glare. I’d endured The Glare for most of my life. He
continued, “Adalyn’s outburst was inexcusable, but you shouldn’t forget
yourself. This is my daughter you’re talking about.”
I lifted my chin, as if the reminder wasn’t something I tried to ignore on a
daily basis.
Adalyn Reyes, the overachieving daughter of the CEO of the soccer franchise
she’d been working for all her life.
“I apologize for the tone, Andrew,” David said, and even if his tone had
sobered, I still didn’t look at him. I couldn’t. Not after everything that had gone
