Ardra had been watching his body language the longer their conversation lasted. She didn’t know if she was imagining things or not, but he seemed like he was a little bit hesitant toward her, not that she was going to press the situation with her dad so close by.

Must be a ton of pressure on you with the upcoming season, especially with the whole speech about this year being the team’s year for a championship. “You have to catch the players that slip through the cracks. Constantly watch to make sure the ball can make it to the end zone without any fail. I imagine you also take a lot of hits.” she said as she had started to twist the ring that she wore on her thumb constantly, which consisted of a series of celtic knots. “No pressure or anything.“ she teased.
Hearing his question, she nodded, “I’ve been known to. Sometimes I join in and help out. I may be a girl but I can keep up with the boys…even surpass them.”
