Simone: Noah’s agent is blowing up my phone. What’s going on? Did something happen to Noah? (Please tell me he didn’t die.)

Grace: His manager showed up about 20 minutes ago and told him he was back on the roster for the World Series.

Simone: WHAT?! Oh wow! Okay. Some of these texts are making a lot more sense now. Scotty’s right! This could bring a whole new level of closure to the memoir. (Definitely better than the current “and then he got old and was kicked off the team” ending we have now.)

Simone: Hey, just reading through more of Scotty’s texts. (Sometimes I regret giving that man my number.) He says if Seattle wins the World Series then the manager will probably retire. And if he retires and if Noah pitches well then Noah could be a strong contender for getting hired on as their new manager. I know that’s a lot of ifs, but... this could be a big win for both of you. Noah back to doing what he loves. You finally getting your ex-husband out of your hair. (And a great memoir for the rest of us!) Sounds like the perfect happily-ever-after to me!

Simone: Okay, I’m turning my phone off now. Scotty is driving me crazy.
