By the end of their usual Sunday basketball session, Mitchell's team lost by two points. That cheered Troy up and he was back to his usual self by the time they got home.
Jonah was hot and sweaty so he went to take a shower and ended up spending the rest of the day reading that book he had largely ignored in favor of Eden last night. She didn't text him first and he didn't want to be annoying so he didn't say anything until shortly before he went to bed when he wished her good luck the following day and told her to tell him how it went.
She sent him a simple thumbs up in reply, which was a bit disappointing, but it was his own fault for not reaching out to her earlier. He could talk to her tomorrow. Goodness knows he would probably need cheering up after his doctor's appointment.
