Chapter 44
Rori
TWO DAYS LATER
NEW YEARS: How was the Triumph launch event?
RORI: Great, largely because I got to stare at a huge picture of you nearly naked the whole time.
NEW YEARS: Glad to hear I’m appreciated.
RORI: I appreciate some things about you. And the pictures sure did reinforce that.
RORI: JKJK. The event was fine, millions of photos, tons of interviews. With us in the pics, they were smart to tie it to the opening weeks of the US Open and the NFL season.
NEW YEARS: Yeah, I wish I could have been there with you.
RORI: Me too
FOUR DAYS AFTER THAT
RORI: Won. Officially into the third round.
NEW YEARS: That’s my girl.
NEW YEARS: I watched some. We put you on in the team gym. Helps to have QB1 in the know.
RORI: I need to meet Johnson. I mean, other than when he’s bidding on me.
NEW YEARS: Yeah, you’re never meeting Johnson.
RORI:
RORI: You guys ready for your first game Sunday?
NEW YEARS: 100%. I need to catch up to you in the win column.
THREE DAYS AFTER THAT
RORI: Julie and Dad are so lovey-dovey. I’m about to tell them to knock it off like they’re teenagers.
NEW YEARS: Nah. Just come talk to me. I’ll distract you.
RORI: Speaking of distractions, since you guys won your first game, I decided to give you a congrats present.
RORI: [sends three photos]
NEW YEARS: Oh shit.
NEW YEARS: Is that a toy in this picture??
RORI: I thought you’d like that….
NEW YEARS: Woman, how am I supposed to sit through my team meeting now?!?
ANOTHER TWO DAYS AFTER THAT
RORI: When do you guys fly out exactly for the next game?
NEW YEARS: Gotta be on the team bus by 2 PM, then the team plane probably leaves an hour or so after that. We get there in the early evening.
NEW YEARS: The short week of prep is hard with it being the Thursday night game, but I’m happy the timing means you can actually see it.
RORI: Yeah I found a way to get the channel for the game here at the rental house. Will wear my jersey
NEW YEARS: Don’t start, babe.
RORI: The cropped pink #55 jersey, no bra, just panties.
NEW YEARS: Fuck. Can I FaceTime you right now?
RORI: I’m not wearing them right now!!!!
RORI: But I am wearing that little sleep set you like….
NEW YEARS: FACETIME
