Chapter 25
What’s the matter, kid?
– George Stovall, professional baseball first baseman their boys were on fire. Cal was supposed to close, but one of their other pitchers went out with an injury and the manager had decided to move him to starter for game three. Only two games left until Javi was free for the offseason.
He already had a house rented in Oasis and Camdyn had moved some of her things over from her parents’ place. She was ready to have a break from the long commutes into Phoenix.
Lola didn’t know it yet, but tomorrow morning they’d be throwing her a birthday party at Javi’s apartment. She would be turning thirteen and Camdyn had just felt that called for a celebration. After all, it was her favorite number and Javi’s player number as well.
She’d booked a caterer for brunch and ordered Lola a pretty cake in her favorite color. She was sure the girl would be thrilled. Especially when she got Javi’s gift.
