~Helen Rowland Maggie started the day by transporting costumes to the recital hall, and then a trip to the hair salon. She admitted it was silly to be nervous, but Jace and his parents were coming to the performance and the thought of dancing in front of them gave her the jitters. He’d insisted on taking her, pointing out she’d be at his game, so it made sense to leave from there. As much as she looked forward to it, she kept reminding herself it wasn’t a date, only transportation. Maybe if she flirted, it could turn into more. The truth was she wanted it to be, but Jace wasn’t the kind of man to commit to one woman. She pushed the thought from her mind. No need in punishing herself. With Sarah right behind, they climbed the stadium steps to their seats. In the first half, Jace caught several passes, but failed to score. After half-time, the team came back fired up, ready to play hard and he put six points on the board. Once the game ended, Sarah said good-bye while Maggie waited by Jace’s truck.
