“I’ve given you time, Sinclair.” I don’t think my father has ever called me by a nickname in my entire life. “But your healing grace period is over. It’s time to work, to really hold something down.”
I’ve known this was coming, and surprisingly, I’m not annoyed by it. In the past, I’ve bitched and moaned over my father demanding I get a job. Shirking responsibility has been my number one priority.
Maybe I’m bored. Maybe I’m just tired of being alone. Maybe I’m finally growing up.
But I find myself unable to disagree, and even more, I don’t want to fight him on this.
I simply nod.
“I’m sending you to spring training.” He stands, clapping a hand on my shoulder. “Everything will be arranged. They’ll be expecting you on the family plane on Sunday.”
Ah, the sweet luxury of money at it again. I was being given a job, handed it really, and wouldn’t have to lift a finger in the moving process. I even got to take the private jet down to the Pistons southern facilities.
But he was right. It was time. And if nothing else, at least I wouldn’t be a recluse, wasting away in this house any longer.

About the Author
Author of romance novels such as The Tenth Girl and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.
When she isn't writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She’s a Jersey girl living in Texas with her husband, daughter, son and Great Dane/Lab rescue.
Please join her readers group, Carrie’s Charmers, to get the latest on new books, as well as talk about reality TV, wine and home decor.
