EXCERPT
Devon plopped down on the couch and rubbed his neck
, attempting to ease the tension in
the muscles. The Kings had fought like wild men to
reach this point in their quest to capture
the Super Bowl for the second year in a row. Coach
Bass, usually relaxed around the team,
had been increasingly moody and tense as the day of
the big game drew near.
The footballer chuckled to himself. Coach was getti
ng married after the season ended.
Maybe that’s making him nervous. Jo Parker,
Coach Bass’s fiancée, was one
beautiful woman. He got goofy around her sometimes,
making the team snicker and tease.
The cornerback’s thoughts turned to his girlfriend.
Why don’t I behave like that around
Jackie?
