The Long Game is about Adalyn Reyes, a hardworking employee for Miami Flames FC offices, and Cameron Caldani, a recently retired professional goalkeeper, their story begins when Adalyn pops the head off the team’s mascot, and a video is released of it, it goes viral. Her boss, who happens to be her dad and the owner of the team, chooses not to fire her but sends her away to some random place in North Carolina where she gets tasked to help the local soccer team.. which happens to be children, who wear tutu’s to practice, and keep goats as pets..
So I resumed my quest, reaching for a panicked Brandy, but I–
Looked down, and found a trail of anxiety-induced poo.
“Oh God,” I said as I veered for the opposite side. But Brandy was still distraught– and therefore, very much pooping all over the place. “Brandy,” I tried again, seeing Cameron dash for me out of the corner of my eye. “Cameron, no,” I warned him, thrusting one hand in his direction and the other in the direction of Brandy. The goat,” I explained, watching how Brandy twirled and head-butted into my side with enough force to push me a step back. “The poo,” I added, stepping on something soft and feeling my shoe slide forward. “The flannel!” I finished, miraculously managing to grasp the jacket with both hands throw it up into the air.
I landed on my ass.
“Jesus Christ Adalyn,” Cameron barked. “Are you okay?”
“Tell me your jacket is safe,” I answered from the ground, blinking at the now dark sky above me. Hmm, pretty. “And I’m fine. Thine goat poo softened the blow.”
My suit on the other hand? Not so much. (pg.152)
I choose this scene because I found the chaos of it all funny, with Brandy getting spooked– did I mention she’s blind?– and pooping all over the pace to poor Adalyn slipping in it and saving Cameron’s jacket. At this point in the book, our two MC’s are now slowly starting to get along !!
