EPILOGUE

CAROLINA

“Mr. Barret!”

“Are you excited about the upcoming exhibition game against Anthem?”

“Mr. Barret, why does Carolina have two teams?”

“Coach Barret, who’s the woman you arrived with? I thought you were a bonafide bachelor?”

“Are you single, Coach?”

“I heard you two moved in together after knowing each other for just one day! Is that true, Coach?

“Settle down everyone, I will get to your questions in a moment,” Dane said, his expression annoyed.

Two months had passed since we spent that tumultuous afternoon in his cabin, and honestly, it was the best time of my life. I never did turn in my resignation, but I did ask Mr. Knight to transfer my position from his assistant to that of one of the Carolina Rovers team managers in charge of PR.

It was a great switch and a better use of my marketing degree. Not to mention, I was learning a shit ton about rugby.

I knew Dane wasn’t about to discuss our personal life with the few reporters who came to this press conference, but even if he did, I wasn’t worried.

Sure, our romance was a whirlwind. But the best ones always were. Sometimes it just happened like that.

All I knew was I was happy. For the first time in my life, I had a man who loved me exactly how I was, and even better, I loved him right back.

Every night, when we finished loving on each other, Dane always asked me why I agreed to stay with him so quickly. And every night I told him the same thing.

“Because you gave me a reason to try, Dane.”
