Love or the NFL

Frank didn’t say anything more to Dennis. He needed to get away to think. He pulled on his jeans, put on a sweatshirt and his shoes, took his phone from where Dennis had tossed it, and went to the door.


“Where you goin’? You gonna call Billy and tell him he’s busted?” Dennis called after him.


Frank didn’t answer, he just left the room.


Frank took the elevator down to the lobby. He found a place in a far corner to sit. He worked at breathing deeply, getting himself to calm down, so he could think logically about the situation. Once he did, he decided it was of utmost importance that Bill’s NFL dream be protected. That meant he couldn’t tell Bill Dennis had discovered their relationship. That would occupy all his thoughts and throw him off his game.
