“During a break in the action, the kiss cam focuses on Cole and little miss hair flip. She laughs and bats her eyelashes, turning toward him, and I clench my teeth. “Oh, hell no,” I mutter, leaning over and taking his face between my hands, kissing him right there in front of an entire baseball stadium full of people. I can feel the curve of a smile on his lips as our mouths press together, a few people in the row ahead of us letting out a cheer.”
