Shawn- “You were supposed to stay away from her,” he yells, and my ears ring.
Dallas- “I fucking love her,” I yell back, and the tunnel turns silent. Everyone stares at me—my teammates and their families celebrating the wins. The reporter waiting to interview Shawn. Reid, who is live streaming our celebrations to god knows how many social media channels. Paul, the locker room security guard, who grins at me

I pull out the postcard I wrote to her on the drive over from the hotel and hand it to her. “For the pile.”
“What does this one say?”
“Probably something stupid about how much I love you and how I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together.”
“Yuck.” Maven sticks out her tongue. “Disgusting.”
“Seriously. It makes me sick,” I agree.
Proposal via postcard?
Let’s see what happens…

Shawn turns to Dallas. “You broke my trust, and there will be consequences. Losing your captain title is a possibility, and I’m not above benching you for the first half of the Super Bowl. I hate to make an example out of you, but I might fucking have to. It clearly didn’t stick the first time.”

“Your job with the Titans will be terminated immediately.” He pauses, and I squeeze my eyes shut. “An investigation will be conducted to verify the means in which your relationship started and to make sure there was no exertion of power by Dallas or any other members of the Titans team.”

“It’s from Shawn. ‘Maven, attached you’ll find a meeting request to discuss the disciplinary action for your violation of team and league rules. Next steps will be discussed, which, upon review of evidence, could lead to termination. Please be in my office by 9 a.m. sharp tomorrow morning. Thank you for your time. Shawn Holmes.’”

Maverick- How come you saved the grand gesture for when I’m on a five-game road trip, you asshole?
Dallas- How do you know what happened?
Maverick- Are you kidding me? It’s all over the internet. You’re trending on social media. Someone captioned the video and said: ‘if our love isn’t like this, I don’t want it.’ I’m not going to lie, I teared up a little.

When he yelled it to the entire team, to the entire world, I went weak in the knees. An arrow hit my heart and lodged itself there. I didn’t have a chance to say it back during all the chaos, but I do.
I love him more than I’ve loved anything in my entire life, and I can’t hide it from him any longer.

“You broke the rules, and so did she. The last thing I need is the NFL complaining to me about workplace misconduct and inappropriate relationships happening under my nose. Again. Jesus Christ. Right before the fucking Super Bowl. I swear to God. If I have to bench you because you can’t keep your dick in your pants, I will actually murder you.”
