Hat Trick (D.C. Stars, #4)

by Chelsea Curto

“Years ago, I mentioned to Maverick I liked them in my drink, and he started carrying around a jar so I can have them whenever I want,” she explains. “It’s probably the reason why I fell in love with him.” “Maverick did that for you?” I frown and glance toward the kitchen where a bowl of limes sits on the counter. I added two to my last drink, smiling at the citrus flavor when I took a sip. “I didn’t know that.” “Oh, yeah. Before I even gave him the time of day, he was handing over olives he’d ordered from Greece.” She rolls her eyes, but I see the smile she’s fighting to hide. “He’s so extra, but knowing he remembered that… it made me feel good. Important, you know?” There’s been a collection of limes at every event Riley’s attended this season, and that can’t be a coincidence. I knew he had a crush on me, but that… that seems special. Important, like Emmy said, and when my eyes meet Riley’s from across the room, I turn my attention back to the girls, afraid to look at him for too long.

UGH GET YOUR MAN GIRL
