HAPPILY EVER AFTER depends on many factors in the lives of professional football players. A winning season is one of those factors. I wish I could report the Pronghorns won the Super Bowl but I can't. We did make it to the first round of the playoffs, where we lost to Killian's team. The Scorpions took out their revenge on the season-opening loss to us. They stomped us. It wasn't a nice way to end the season but after the mental defeat wore off, we accepted our winning record for the year determined to make the following year even better. When you're winning, the fans love you and for the first time we took our team to the playoffs, so we rode high on public support.
Coaches, players, and fans took my relationship with Aiden like champs. Poor Lane, no matter how many times we denied it, he remained the jilted other man. He didn't mind and he told me it did wonders for him with the ladies.
