No, we party. Hard. And tonight, the party is at our house.  \nMy twin brother and I share a house with two of our teammates, and unfortunately, our house has become the party house. My brother and roommates don’t mind at all. Me? I don’t love it. After the first and only time I walked in on a couple fucking in my room, I installed a padlock on my door. And the cleanup from one of these parties is the absolute worst.  \nI can already tell tonight is going to be much of the same. A disaster to clean up. Don’t get me wrong; I love a good party. I’m a Griffith after all.  \nA few of my teammates are standing with me, recapping the game, but I can barely hear them over the bass from the speakers, vibrating through the soles of my shoes. And truthfully, my focus is entirely locked on the beauty across the room.  \nEvangeline Carrington.  \nShe’s holding a red cup in her hand while gesturing with the other as she talks to a couple of girls I recognize from the Walker U broadcasting station crew. Her media badge is still hanging around her neck, dangling over a cropped Walker University football T-shirt. Even in this crowd of  \nfans, friends, and teammates, she looks out of place—in the best way possible. Classy. Bright.  \nI’ve spent the last three months finding excuses to linger by her on the sidelines during pregame warm-ups, dropping horrible one-liners and matching her sarcastic remarks just to see the small dimple pop in her left cheek.  \nI’ve been waiting for the exact right time to ask her out. And after the interception I made tonight that secured our win and making their quarterback cry, tonight feels like the perfect damn time.  \nI set my beer down on a table and start cutting my way through the sea of moving bodies, keeping my eyes locked on Evangeline. Then a broad shoulder moves right into my line of sight.  \nAce.  \nMy identical twin brother swaggers over to her, his posture practically radiating the easy confidence he carries everywhere. He leans into Evangeline, stepping directly into her personal space because he has no boundaries. Then I see him flash his trademark smirk—the one that looks exactly ","cbCaiae1k8bbeG2W","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiae1k8bbeG2W","pdf",2619372,222,"English","en",105,"# Prologue\n# Chapter One\n#
