CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
A plastic container of chocolate chip cookie dough sat on the bed next to a half-full box of tissues and the stuffed Siberian husky Brynn had received from Coach. A text notification sounded followed by a second one. She checked her cell phone.
Not Ry. Her brothers in a group text.
Jax: I heard about your second-place finish. WTG!
Ace: Podium. You did it, B!
Jax: BTW, Mom told us everything. Sully is pissed, but what’s new? Haven’t talked to the others, but this changes nothing for Ace and me. You’re the best baby sis ever. Love ya!
Ace: Love you, B!
Brynn’s breath hitched. Tears welled. She hadn’t known how much she needed to hear from Jax and Ace. She typed on her phone.
Brynn: Thanks! Love you both. Will call tomorrow xoxox.
Another text notification beeped.
