"How was dinner last night with the family," Tobin asked as her and Arod headed towards the lobby.
"It was nice. Ryan loved the little trains carrying the food," Amy said. "Where'd you guys go last night?"
The team had the previous night off after training to recover. Some of the girls decided to go out for dinner. Amy, however, chose to go out with her family since they were in town.
"Some new restaurant Cheney and Jrue tried with Moe. I think they only chose it because they had macarons," Tobin laughed. Amy rolled her eyes but smiled nonetheless.
"There's no convincing Moe if she knows there's macarons involved," Amy chuckled.
"Yeah, except Mama Bear only let her have a couple," Tobin said, laughing with Amy.
They were walking by the front desk towards the conference room for the team meeting when they heard something.
"Hi. I'm looking for Ms. Holiday. She's staying here with the Women's National Team," a delivery man said to the front desk lady. Amy nudged Tobin and nodded towards the desk. They began walking over. The lady at the desk noticed them coming and directed the man in their direction.
"Hi, we're with the national team. Maybe we could help you find who you're looking for," Amy said as the young man reached them. Tobin noticed he was wearing the uniform from the restaurant they went to the night before.
"Thank you. I have a delivery for Ms. Holiday," he said.
"Um, are you looking for Mrs. Holiday," Amy asked. He doubled checked his clipboard before shaking his head.
"No, it says Ms. Holiday," he said. Amy and Tobin glanced at each other puzzled.
"You were at the restaurant last night, right," Tobin joined the conversation. She thought he looked familiar.
"Oh, yes, I was working last night," he replied, a little startled by the question.
"Do you remember what she looked like? The person the package is for," Tobin asked.
He thought for a moment before nodding, "I believe I would recognize her if I saw her."
"Why don't you come with us? You can point out who you're looking for," Amy said. Tobin and Amy both believed the delivery was typed wrong and that he was looking for Cheney. They led him to the conference room across the lobby. They waited by the door as he scanned the room.
"Oh, there she is," he said. Tobin and Amy followed his gaze but were surprised that it wasn't on Cheney at all. He began walking across the room, Tobin and Amy quickly following after. Amy flagged Cheney over as they walked.
"What's going on," Cheney asked, noticing her friends' confusion and the delivery man.
"He said he was looking for a Ms. Holiday. We asked if he was looking for you, Mrs. Holiday, but he was sure that wasn't who the package was for," Amy explained.
"Oh-- he's going to Moe," Tobin said surprised. Amy and Cheney looked across the room and the man did in fact stop in front of where Morgan and her friends were sitting. They started towards them.
"Ms. Holiday?"
Morgan looked up at the new voice but was puzzled to find the man addressing her. She glanced at Cheney before sitting up straighter.
"I have a delivery for you," he said, handing her a square box. She carefully took the small box, examining the logo.
"And if you'll please sign here," he asked, giving her a pen and a clipboard with a receipt attached. Morgan hesitated before signing and handing the pen and receipt back.
"Thank you. And have a nice day," he smiled.
"Thank you. You too," Morgan smiled back. The group watched as he went out the door before turning their attention back to the package in Morgan's hands.
"Ms. Holiday," Cheney questioned, walking closer to look at the box. Morgan shrugged and opened the lid.
"Oh look, there's a note," Morgan said. She took the paper out and passed it to Cheney. "It's addressed to Mrs. Holiday. The package was probably for you."
"Yeah but he recognized you instead," Amy said.
"Maybe the note will say something," Lindsey said, pointing to the unopened paper in Lauren's hand. Everyone voiced their agreement as she started unfolding the note. She began reading aloud,
"Mrs. Holiday and teammates,
Thank you for supporting Big City Rose. We are honored to serve members of our national team, especially during our opening week. As a thank you, we would like to give your group a $50 gift card that can be redeemed at any of our locations. We also noticed that your daughter had a love for macarons. Included in the package is a dozen of our macarons that are made fresh each day in all of our restaurants. Again, we would like to thank you and your teammates for choosing Big City Rose. We hope you enjoyed your visit, and we hope you come again!
Thank you from,
Manager and staff of Big City Rose."
"Ooh, there are macarons!"
They looked inside the box and underneath the gift card there was a mix of macarons. Morgan, Lindsey, and Emily immediately grabbed one and began eating.
"Daughter," said Cheney, so confused that she scanned the note again. "I don't look that old, do I?" Tobin started laughing.
"What," Amy asked although she struggled to hold back a smile.
"Are you calling me old, Heath," Cheney said pretending to be offended. She crossed her arms as she glared at Tobin, who shook her head.
"No, I'm not I promise," Tobin defended herself still laughing, "It's just, they probably thought Moe was your daughter 'cause she calls you Mama all the time."
"Oh," everyone chorused.
"That makes so much sense," Amy said quietly.
"What did you sign on the receipt then," Cheney asked Morgan.
"Oh yeah, I just signed as Morgan Holiday," she said, not looking up from her macaron. Cheney looked at her 'daughter' disapprovingly before shrugging it off.
"Well, you and Jrue always wanted to start a family," Amy said. Lauren glared at them as they laughed.
"Hey, the cappuccino one is mine."
