Did you delete "anna"
@123ranias hi! Yes, sorry, I removed it a few months ago. I didn't feel like the writing was quite up to my own standard anymore and did not accurately reflect the story I wanted to tell with it. Sorry about that!

Chapter 32 of How the Chicken Little Nuggets Won It All is out! Norah wakes up in Cam's bed not hungover and has to meet his mom.
There are about 10 chapters left from here, give or take a few because I am horrible with math, plus an epilogue (there can't not be an epilogue).It's been a long time coming, especially since yesterday was the 1-year anniversary of publishing the very first chapter of the first draft! It's been a wild ride since then, and I am so excited to finally enter the Chicken Little Nuggets' final act.

His smile faded, and he shrugged in a way that suggested he was more than hesitant. “Not enough people want a gay man to win games for their team.”
I wished I could have controlled my reaction better, which I thought was somewhere between a sneer and a gaping, fish-like mouth. What Hao said wasn’t some bombshell industry insider secret. I knew well enough as a woman who’d been told I wouldn’t be as successful in sports as men because that was just how fans were. As if they were another level of human, incapable of change. They put their favorite teams on a pedestal and held them to such high standards that they couldn’t imagine their heroes carrying those teams as anything other than what their ideal image of what a man should be ...
... “It is more complicated than him just not playing anymore,” Hao said. “He really was the best, you know. When we won the College World Series, it was because of Javi. He had pitched the day before, and he was exhausted, but he still came in the bottom of the ninth to save us from a bases-loaded situation that would have won the other team the game. Not every pitcher can do that, but he did. I got to catch his last strike, and I ran to him and hugged him in front of thousands of people and on national television, and nobody knew that I was trying with everything in me not to kiss him like I wanted to. That was the happiest moment of my life. Not because we won, but because the man I love was on top of the world.”
New username, who's this? We've officially left the era of an absurdly long username in favor of something a little shorter ;)
Anyway...

“I’ll let you ruminate on that one, buddy.” [Javi] patted my arm, a firm but caring gesture. “Now get some rest and go be with your girl. Don’t let her wake up to an empty bed.”
My eyes traveled from the now-empty mug in front of me to the man who had supplied me with it in the first place. “You just fed me coffee.”
“What, you think I’m a fucking psychopath? I gave you decaf. God knows what your brain would do on caffeine at three in the morning. You’d probably be halfway to Reinert’s house by now to ask if you could walk his dog.”
Chapter 26 parts 1 and 2 of How the Chicken Little Nuggets Won It All are out! Cam is hot and Norah is on a mission.

I leaned my head against Cameron’s arm. Not for my own comfort, but just to have another point of contact between us that told him I was there for him. He liked when I did that. It made him feel needed. He was the one who needed comfort the most, and I gave that to him by reminding him that he wasn’t alone.
He responded with a gentle kiss to the top of my head, the impact of which spread all the way down to my toes in a trickle of golden warmth.
We watched the sun slowly sink together, eating ice cream and never not touching each other. Cameron was sweet, as always, which made me feel guilty every time he licked that damn ice cream.
Was it wrong of me to be jealous of a frozen dessert?
