Touchdown For The Devil Six Hours
It was just a normal Sunday evening. They were in his room. She sat on the floor with her laptop, going through Webb project notes. He was at his desk, watching game film. The desk lamp was on, casting a warm glow over his papers. Elena's photograph hung right above him. The whiteboard had new diagrams on it that she had stopped trying to decode. Then he spoke without turning around. "I need to talk to you about something." She looked up, staring at the back of his head and the rigid set of his shoulders. "Okay," she said. He turned around in his desk chair to look at her. "I got a call today from one of the teams. They want a decision by the end of February." She closed her laptop screen halfway. "That's three weeks." "Yeah." "Have you decided?" "I'm going to say yes." He held her gaze steadily. "I wanted to tell you that first. Before we talk about everything else." She looked at him. She knew this was coming. She had spent two weeks working to stay calm on her own
Touchdown For The Devil The Draft
February arrived fast.Dante drove to the franchise facility on a Wednesday morning, leaving campus at five thirty while it was still pitch dark outside. Ariana was already awake when he left, she hadn't slept particularly well and didn't pretend otherwise. She stood in the doorway of his room in the football house, watching the shadows stretch across the wall while he checked his bag one more time."You have everything," she said, her voice quiet in the early morning stillness."Yeah.""You've checked that bag three times.""Just making sure." He zipped it and looked at her. He was dressed in dark, clean clothes, carrying the particular contained energy of an athlete ready for a massive challenge. "Go back to sleep, Ari.""I wasn't sleeping anyway.""I figured." He crossed the bedroom floor, stood right in front of her, and put both hands on her face. His palms were warm against her chilly cheeks. "I'll call you tonight as soon as I'm clear.""Count on it."He kissed her, then he pic
Touchdown For The Devil January
The draft talks started on a Tuesday.Dante told Ariana that evening in his room. They sat on the floor with his phone on the table between them. She listened the way she always did, completely, without trying to fill the quiet spaces.Three teams wanted him. The formal conversations would run from January through March, building toward the April draft."David Reeves called this morning," Dante said. "They want to meet next week.""In the city?""Their facility. It's a four-hour drive." He looked at his phone. "They want to see me in person before they commit to anything public."She thought about what that meant. Four hours away. People deciding his future in a room she wouldn't see. "Are you nervous?""No," he said honestly. "I know what I can do. They know what I can do. The meeting is just a confirmation.""Of something you already know.""Yes."She looked at him. He had been working toward this since he was nine years old. He had earned a first-round conversation completely on hi
Touchdown For The Devil Zoe's Turn
Zoe had not planned on falling in love during her junior year. She told Ariana this on a Sunday morning. Zoe sat cross-legged on her bed with a mug of tea she had made and then completely forgotten about. The steam was long gone, and the tea was cold. Across the room, Ariana sat at her desk, editing photos on her laptop with only half her attention. "I had a plan," Zoe said, staring into her cold mug. "Get through school. Get an internship somewhere with actual standards. Avoid anyone with a sports scholarship because they're either insufferable or emotionally unavailable, sometimes both." Ariana did not look up from her screen. "Eli doesn't have a sports scholarship." "That's not the point." "What's the point." "The point is I had a plan and the plan did not include—" Zoe gestured vaguely. It was as if Eli were a weather storm rather than a real person. "This." Ariana looked up from her laptop. "You sound upset about being happy." "I'm not upset." Zoe picked up her tea, found
Touchdown For The Devil After
The dinner did something neither of them expected.It wasn't the food, though the small place Zoe found was good. It was just being four normal people at a table on a Tuesday night. Nobody mentioned Richard. Nobody mentioned the lawyer's call. Zoe knew about it, Ariana had told her before they left, but she kept the evening light, steering conversation toward safe ground. By the time they left, Ariana had laughed more than she had in two weeks, and Dante's shoulders had finally relaxed.That was three days ago.Walking across campus toward the media center, Ariana realized something had changed. The dinner had reminded them that their life wasn't only the difficult parts.Dante found her at her desk that evening.He sat down, pulled his chair beside hers, and set two coffees down, hers first, then his."You're quiet," she said."I'm just thinking.""About what?"He turned his cup slowly. "The lawyer called me back today. About the NDA challenge."She turned to face him properly. "And
Touchdown For The Devil The Interruption
Three weeks after their Saturday in the city, Ariana knew the layout of Dante's room better than her own dorm. She knew the room by heart. She could walk through it in the pitch dark without tripping over a single thing. She knew the exact spot where the floorboards groaned under a heavy step near the closet. She knew the way the winter cold leaked through the window glass, making the air smell like frost. She knew the tiny desk lamp gave off a soft, golden light that was much better than the ugly overhead bulbs. She knew the third shelf of his bookcase had a small gap right next to a row of thick football playbook binders. That gap was his personal landing pad. It was the exact place where he dropped his phone charger, his heavy car keys, and his loose pocket change at the end of every grueling day. She knew he brewed his coffee way too strong, using double the normal grounds. He did it every single morning, he saw absolutely no problem with it, and he was never going to change his
Touchdown For The Devil Elena Reyes
The photograph arrived on a Thursday afternoon. Dante was in the middle of a film session with Mason and two other players when his phone lit up on the table beside him. It was an unknown number, a clean and unmarked digital footprint. He looked at the flashing screen for half a second, excused hi
Touchdown For The Devil What She Sees
The thing about watching Dante Cole practice was that it was nothing like watching him play. Games were pure performance, thirty-eight thousand people in the stands, the crushing weight of expectation, and every single movement calibrated for an audience whether he admitted it or not. Practice was
Touchdown For The Devil Richard's Move
The formal email arrived in Professor Bennett's university inbox on a crisp Wednesday morning. Ariana didn't find out about it until late Thursday afternoon. Even then, she didn't find out directly. She found out by paying close attention to the shifting atmosphere around her. It started with B
Touchdown For The Devil The Devil Wears Number Seven
Rain hammered against the stadium lights hard enough to blur the scoreboard. Westbridge University was losing again. But he crowd screamed anyway because Dante Cole was still on the field, and the devil always gave people something to worship. I pulled my hoodie tighter as the rain soaked through
