SALEM

“ M om’s been trying to reach you. Call her back. Still waiting for a pic of the red rocks. Love you.” I hang up after leaving the voicemail for my brother.

“Denzel?” Cillian asks, stretching out his back.

“Yep.” I take out my headphones and shelf them with my phone.

“He’s all right?”

I roll on my compression tights. “Most likely.”

“Ready for this?”

I raise my eyebrow. “And I wouldn’t be because?”

He pauses. “I’d get it if you felt a way being on his turf. It wouldn’t?—”

I shrug. “It’s a game like any other.”

Silence the Royals’ crowd and help Brooklyn clutch a dub.

Business as usual.
