Ha, I was so distracted by the new James story that I never did comment on this one. DUH. Great ending, so glad they won (and James had the assist, I'll settle for that one). Just the perfect ending.
I'm SOOO glad you decided to have them win. Like you metioned, the last line was totally worth it. Perfect ending to a great story. You should be proud of yourself, friend.
And you sneaky, sneaky bastard! You're the BEST for that goal. Hehehehehe. Also for my own pleasure, I pictured some of the guys falling off the bench when they won because why not? That will never get old. And leave it to Riley to miss the goal after everything. I feel her pain, though. Happens all the time to me as yo you know.
Hopefully the real season ends this way. Unless my boys in red and black end it this way, but ha! I'm dreaming.
"Do we have to keep them if they're baby sisters?" - BAHAHAHAHA. Don't worry buddy, maybe you'll have some boys to play with soon(ish). Baby Josi has to grow a little more.
Shea and Riley make my heart hurt. Oww.
"Does it get any better than this?" - Yes, yes it does. It comes in the form a win with a comfortable lead so there is no need to want tp pop an entire bottle of xanax and down a bottle of wine....Or two.
Hey, the best thing about being the author is that you can write things the way you want them to be! I agree with the comment below, please let them win. And let James score the winning goal. So excited and so sad for the ending at the same time...but at least I'm not crying in front of the boss. I guess that'll be on Wednesday... I can't wait for the James story (go figure) but I'm dreading the sadness, too. Darn you, playing with my emotions like this!!
"James actually told me that if I didn't stop crying he was going to the arena four hours early" hahah I loved that line! The moment between Shea and Riley was perrrrrfect, and beautiful. Can't wait to see Riley's moment with Shea when she sees him for the first time after he's won the cup ;)
I can't believe there's only one chapter left...I'm totally not ready for the end of the story -- or of Quinn. I think if I see you update this while I'm at work, I'll wait to read it at home. No, wait, then I'll have to explain the crying to my husband. Maybe work is better. My boss would be afraid to ask me about it! ha ha
These last few chapters have punched me right in the feels! I can't believe she's really not going to make it! I think it was definitely the saddest chapter with Noah. But I'm torn between being happy that it ends when Quinn dies and being really sad because I really love everyone in this story!
UGH. I was OK reading this until Noah asked if she needed fighters. You got me right in the feels so i was a big ball of emotions after that. So really, I hate you.
"I'm not ready for this." - SAME. My God. It's gonna be BRUTAL!
Sorry this sucked as a 200th comment but I'm SO proud of yooouuuu!!!
So I forgot about your warning about the Quinn and Noah moment, so I read this after my class/on the bus... CRIED on the bus. Dang, that was hard to read
