I knew what came next."We want you to fill that role now. You know our playbook cold. You have practiced passing and thrown a few passes in games. We ...hink you would be best equipped to take over if anything happens to Ed and Jake and they can't play. Do you think you can handle this?" I guess. This is a surprise," I answered. "I hope our team never needs me to do this. I doubt I could do this as well as Ed or Jake."Coach Caffrey laughed. "Don't worry, Kyle. Stan was our emergency quarterback.

I kiss your arm lightly and close my eyes."Sleepy? Why don't you lay down for a bit we won't be there for a while" That sounds good, maybe just a little catnap." I sigh; kick my sandals off tucking my stocking feet up on the seat,.
