I stayed in the locker room for the remainder of the first half, finally the team filing in for halftime. Josh came over and checked on me, I assured ...im I was alright. I saw Coach Cullen having a conversation with our team physician, apparently as to whether I could go or not. He didn’t seem pleased with the answers he was given. I was updated that the score was 21-14, we were trailing for the second time in the game. I got up and made my way over to where Coach Cullen was standing, he was. “Do you really think he wants you to be with another man?”“I think he does, but I’m really hesitant about it.”“He’s basically giving you a hall pass, you could do whatever, or whomever, you wanted.”It took me a little bit to process her statement and then try to find the right words.“He’s viewed so many things online and it’s as if he wants to try them all. I don’t think he realizes how some of what he wants could affect our marriage and it’s like I have to be the voice of reason for both of. Maybe someone else is using Will McDonnough’s feud with the farmers to cover up a little cattle stealing,” Cal said.Tom and Sheriff Williams both looked at Cal who had been quiet as the two of them talked things out.“Cal, now I know why you’re so quiet sometimes, you may have just hit on something there,” Sheriff Williams said.“That sure would make sense, we plan on ridin back that way in a day or so, we’ll do a little closer snoopin’ about this now,” Tom agreed.The three of them talked it over. "And keep them out of the other player's way. We're not going to start this shit again this year. Understand?"Cerutti hadn't spoken but he had moved his group to the other side of the room while he had dressed."Keep your head, Rook," Al had advised."I won't take shit from anyone," Brock had said. "I'll play the silly little games and all that. But if someone thinks I'm his fucking slave, he better think again."Al had nodded his agreement and had given Brock a pat on the shoulder.But this.
