![]() Out of My League
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: Staring at his face, I noticed a faint, silvery scar underneath his right eye, as small as my thumbnail. I reached out with my free hand, tracing my fingertip along his skin. A featherlight touch, barely there. “What happened here?” His gaze never left mine. “Baseball cleat. Fourth grade. One of my teammates threw it at me.” “Some little league kid threw their shoe at you? Why?” “I told him that he couldn’t bat very well.” Walsh shrugged. “He couldn’t take the truth.” I snorted. “You were that kid? The dream crusher?” “Well, someone had to be.” His small smile was unapologetic. “Ask me who the kid was.” I looked at him for a moment before tipping my head. “No way. Scott?” “Who else would be that aggressive as a fourth-grader?” Dina pulled at my arm as I laughed, shaking my head at the thought of miniature Scott throwing a shoe at small Walsh. I stepped out from the tangle of leashes at our feet, glancing down. “Oh, your poor rich-boy shoes.” “What?” Walsh looked at his feet. “Oh.” Brown smeared the side of his expensive-looking shoe, probably coating along the bottom. “With dogs around, you should probably watch where you’re walking.” Walsh let go of my hand to switch the leash and proceeded to try and smear the offensive substance onto the grass. “Now you tell me.” “Should we clean the poop off your shoe together? Is that romantic?” His response was dry. “Ha-ha.” “What? Shouldn’t we get a photo and caption it, ‘This might’ve been an accident, but falling in love wasn’t’?” “Watch it, or I’ll wipe it on your ankle.” I jerked back just in case he tried it, nearly tripping over Dina’s wealth of leash. ![]()
