The Perfect Putt (More Than a Game, #2)

by Annah Conwell

“Finally. I’m going to be late for my tee time

Ill fight a bitch if I ever hear that sentence

Of course, he plays golf. All the worst customers do.

Amen 🙏

“The golfer. He’s the youngest golfer to ever win the Masters and he grew up in Coastal Cove,

BOOM SHAKALAKA

me freeze. Miles. A sweaty, shirtless Miles. He’s leaned back on a bench, pushing two large dumbbells up in a chest press while his trainer counts his repetitions.

Aint no way a golfer needs to be doing all that

It was the look in his eyes that said he wouldn’t stop until he won. That kind of determination makes my blood

Im going to barf

It’s not like I live in Nebraska with an ocean-themed bathroom.

Now why did we have to bring that hell hole up

“I thought I was meeting y’all up at the clubhouse,”

Ok lil southern belle

My jaw clenches in determination. I won’t fall victim to whatever lovesickness Shaw has going

🎶 Foreshadowing 🎶

Maybe his mind will change, but I can’t count on it.

Girl you’re 23 calm down

There’s something about working in the garden until I’m covered in dirt and sweat, then getting a long shower and rewarding myself with a glass of ice cold strawberry lemonade.

This. But its a cherry limeaide from sonic

I wish Owen were here. He’d throw Naomi over his shoulder

Ok so it’s sounding like you were also in love with him… yikes

I’d rather keep her here to make sure she doesn’t have to do anything herself,

Hes in love whoda thunk

It’s probably not normal boss behavior to bridal carry your assistant and give her the equivalent of a sponge bath

Not normal at all, usually thatd earn you a trip down to HR my friend

“She’s my friend. I’d do the same for you.” I shut the cooler.

Denial is a river in Egypt

The same coffee that his lips touched a few minutes ago.

Thats the middle school equivalent of kissing😀

If being delusional was a sport, I’d be smiling on the podium with my gold medal.

delulu is the solulu - aristotle

I want Ellie to like golf because I like her.

Thank you for catching up so quickly you fucking sloth

“Am I not allowed to worry about you?” I ask her

sir I have HR on the other line for (checks notes) harassment of a female employee?

The wind picks up around us, rustling her windchimes and startling us apart.

its an omen 😨

“A tee time is a start time. You book them in advance so that everyone isn’t playing on top of each other,” I explain.

wouldnt you idk just start on a different hole?

Isn’t our tee time today something like 7:42?” “It’s just set at an interval to make sure they can fit the most golfers in a day as possible.”

Ok but thats a bad interval? if its ending in something other than 0 and 5 its wrong and honestly might explode the world

My rival, Zane Hastings, has the one next to mine,

Im sorry golf isn’t That serious

I’m sure dating my assistant would make for a successful–albeit cliché–article.

what about a book😐

“Second place is first place loser.”

only acceptable response

“What’s wrong with the shoes you have on?” I smile down at her. “They aren’t golf shoes.”

me when I have an issue with my street shoes, and have to wear my “driving” moccasins

“I do love how pretty it is out here,” Ellie comments when I stop the cart.

ah yes, the sound of sprinklers and grass thats 1/4 of an inch tall

get out and grab my driver from the bag, sliding off the protective cover. I need to make it in four strokes to hit par, and the hole is 445 yards from here. There’s some wind coming against me, so I need to hit it harder to account for that. I take a ball and tee out of the side of my golf bag.

Too… much… talk… I… might…die….😵

Though some people say Pebble Beach in California is even prettier.

nice try but Pebble Beach is a Mario Kart race track

I take in a breath, pull back my club, then swing. The ball arches through the air. I grin. Yes. That was a perfect first shot. I hit it about three hundred yards out. All

me when I suddenly have the eyesight of a eagle 🦅

Apparently whoever invented golf likes bird names, because if you go two under par that’s an eagle. Three under par is an albatross or double eagle, and four under par is a condor.

so the inventor just really liked eagles?

he’s not saying anything when warmth covers my back. I suck in a breath.

Hes pulling a Ghost🤺

“Good girl,” he murmurs, his breath hot against

No. Absolutely Not. If this book turns into praise kink central, I’m gonna crash out

I say quietly, resting my cheek against his back. His muscles don’t relax at my touch.

Oh noo🙈 Im embarrassed for you

I growl and snap my club over my knee before throwing the pieces aside.

That’s twice that Ive read that, makes me think its easy as fuck to break these things

“How about we brainstorm some ideas for what you can do to win her back while we finish out the round?” Fitz suggests.

Ok gentle parenting

can’t believe I fell in love with someone who golfs for a living.”

No one can

Golf is much more intense than I ever thought it could

delete that sentence cuz its wrong

Now we’re on the tenth hole, and Miles is two under par.

I forgot is that good?

Golf pants are vastly underrated.

Only if they have an ass, and even then its iffy

Just like any other hole.

this whole godforsaken “sport” is a huge dirty joke and a “thats what she said” waiting to happen

love you, Red. I fell in love with you a little over three months ago and I haven’t stopped falling.

its giving, every uber christian relationship ever

“Ellie Hart, will you marry me?” The box opens to reveal a stunning pear-shaped diamond set into a gold band.

mind you, hes proposing in an old accounting building

when I’ve been looking forward to it for some time now.”

by some time now you mean 3 months
