"None of us want toeach other is always a big deal to the Rileys"

"And speaking of you and Cole, when are the two of you going to be planning your wedding?" Liz asked

Savannah grinned "I know, our schedules have been ridiculous, and I’ve been lucky to have so much work to do lately But we’ve set a date for next May"

Alicia grinned "That’s fabulous And it’s about time"

"Hey, it’s ti there Talking about it Taking things slowly Finding a house and discussing all thingsnext year, maybe after baseball season"

Alicia laughed "I guess we’ll get through Jenna and Ty’s wedding first"

"Yes"

"I heard s about s about you," Liz said "Mainly about your hair, and your butt"

Jenna cracked a s ofabout who’sAnd Savannah set a wedding date"

"I heard about that So Savannah’s next And then Alicia"

"Apparently And I’m the old ot married first"

"Where is Tara?" Alicia asked

"She texted o and said she had a brunch event to do this , but that she’d be here," Jenna said

"Good I know she wouldn’t want to ame," Liz said "Who has Sam?"

"The babysitter," Jenna said, "Since everyone in the faet too tired to spend all day at the gaood venue for a little one"

"That rabbed their seats and watched the prega loudly for both Mick and Cole as the teams were announced and took the field Kathleen and Jimmy wore their Sabers jerseys, and of course since Cara and Jack were Cole’s and Alicia’s parents, they countered by wearing their Traders jerseys The rest of the fa Traders colors, some Sabers

It was quite thethe coin toss

"Sorry I’m late Did I h The event went a little long and I couldn’t leave And I’ to wolf down some food and settle in"

Liz rubbed her back "Relax so you don’t get indigestion"

Tara laughed "I know I know It’s just been that kind of week Saa at once And Nathan will be home next week and I’ on"

"I do But right now I have these hed "I hear you Priorities, honey"

Tara finally settled and relaxed, and then it was game time Liz felt the electricity in the filled-to-capacity stadiua to both the Traders and the Sabers The Traders were in first place in their division, and the Sabers were one game behind in theirs And as the Traders kicked off to the Sabers, Liz held her breath Even though she had no loyalty to either team, she felt for both Mick and Cole, knehat it was like to have a game that meant so much

Grant Cassidy, the quarterback, took the ball for the Traders and Cole lined up on the left side of the field Liz took a glance at the row in front of her and saw Savannah leaning forward, her gaze glued to Cole Liz knehat it was like to watch her , her heart was in her throat, willing hiah Mick wasn’t out on the field

It was a post pattern, and Coletwenty-four yards, a big first play for the Traders that had everyone on their feet cheering

In typical Riley fashion, everyone cheered, even Tara, though sheto be a tough game, isn’t it?"

"I love Cole He’s faht now he’s my husband’s opponent So while I want him to do wellI don’t want him to do well It’s a dileo ahead and boo and curse, honey It won’t hurtevery tihed "You’re on"

And so it went, and by the end of the first half Mick’s teale, and refill their drinks

"That was intense," Tara said "But Mick’s doing well"

"He is Damn him," Savannah said "But Cole had that awesome touchdown catch"

"He did," Tara said with a sht have to sit between the two of you during the second half," Jenna said "If it’s close, youyour cell phones at each other"

Tara laughed "I don’t think we’ll coauys to win But they’ve both lost before, so I think we can take it no irl fight in the suite?" Gavin asked, co over to put his arm around Liz’s shoulders
