“But, Mom, it’s not every day you see an old friend.” I move out of my seat and Indie forces her mom to sit down.
All three pairs of eyes look at us confused, and that’s when I wrap my arm around Indie’s shoulders and say, “I think I’m going to take my girlfriend to the arcade and play some games. What do you say, babe?”
She looks up at me with a sweet smile. “Kicking my boyfriend’s ass at air hockey seems like a perfect night.” I bend down and kiss her, totally not sick of her calling me her boyfriend.
We turn to walk away when all three moms call out, “Hold on a second.”
Indie and I laugh as we turn around.
Mom has her hand clutched to her chest as she asks, “You two are dating?”
I nod. “For a few months now.” I kiss the side of Indie’s head. “Head over cleats in love with this girl.”
“Oh, dear Jesus,” Beth says, fanning herself with a drink menu. “Seriously?”
Indie nods at her mom. “Yeah, really, truly in love with this guy.” She squeezes me tightly and our moms all stare up at us, tears in their eyes—even Mama.
“Looks like for the first time, your meddling actually paid off.” I wink and say, “Call us when the potato skins get here. We’ll celebrate after I beat this girl in air hockey.”
Beth claps her hands together.
Mama holds up her drink to me and then takes a sip.
And Mom . . . well, she just gives me a tearful smile and watches us walk away.
Who knew a setup by two nosey moms would end in a happily ever after? I didn’t . . . but I’m so fucking glad it did.

Excerpt - The Locker Room
EMORY
Rule number one in college: don’t lose your friends at a house party . . . especially when you’re drunk.
Technically this is a loft party though, so . . . am I really breaking the rule?
My head falls back against the wall, my empty red cup rests in my hand and is clutched to my chest as I scan the giant loft space on the third floor of a renovated warehouse. I climbed up a fire escape in heels to get here, risked the safety of my ankles to be a part of something special, because apparently this is the place to be on the weekends.
The Baseball Loft.
As I’ve been told by my best friends, this is where you earn a golden ticket invitation to the exclusive but highly sought-after locker room—where dreams come true.
Supposedly.
Don’t take my word for it.
But rumor on the street is: the best orgasms take place in the Brentwood Baseball locker room. Legends say one girl had a five-minute orgasm on the tile floors of the shower.
Five-minute orgasm in exchange for a week’s worth of ringworm. Not sure I’m interested.
But alas, I’m here, drunk off my ass, boobs practically spilling out of my shirt, and my mascara slowly melting off my eyelashes and onto my face, morphing me from new-in-town college girl, to trash panda from the raccoon clan.
“Dottie, Lindsay,” I say weakly, moving my head from side to side. “Where art thou?”
“You need help?” a deep voice slurs next to me.
