Where are you today, Em?
Emmy
Right across the river in New Jersey. We’re leaving for Denver later this afternoon, though. I’m grabbing dinner with Amelia Green who’s the associate coach for the Goldminers.
Me
She’s my ultimate girl crush.
Piper
SAME. Her ability to ignore the commentary about her being a woman coaching men is astonishing. And her clothes? I’m so jealous. I want to raid her closet.
Maven
She gave me a tampon in the bathroom last season, and I think I fell in love with her.
Emmy
You know I love you all very much, but if we were going to add anyone to the group, I’d love for it to be her. She’s an icon.
Me
Tell her she has a fan club in DC if she ever makes her way out east!
Piper
Want to get dinner tonight, Lex and Mae?
Me
Sure. I can make reservations somewhere.
Maven
Sorry! No dinner for me. Dallas is also playing in New York this weekend, so we’re doing a kid-free night of dinner and a Broadway show. You two have fun!
Me
Looks like we’re going on a date, Piper.
Piper
Can’t wait!

Riley
I’m excited for this surprise. When do I get it?
Me
Tomorrow after practice. I’m stealing you for the rest of the afternoon, Mitchy.
Riley
Sounds promising. Are you still not telling me where we’re going?
