Fangirl Down

Wells spends the next week keeping in shape to distract himself from thoughts of Josephine. Whenever he thinks about her, his chest and his penis hurt. He finishes his core workout and replays a video from his and Josephine’s final San Antonio match. He still feels guilty for what happened on their last night in Texas.

A call from Burgess interrupts his thoughts. They catch up on their lives and Burgess asks if it’s okay if he brings his daughter Lissa to the California tournament. He also remarks on Wells’s relationship with Josephine, asking if she’s the one. Wells has never liked this romantic notion but doesn’t deny his feelings for Josephine.

Suddenly the blood sugar app starts beeping on Wells’s phone and he panics. He ends the call, horrified to see that Josephine’s blood sugar has zeroed out. He calls her repeatedly but she doesn’t answer. Jim doesn’t pick up his phone either. Convinced something terrible has happened to Josephine, he gets in his car and drives the 90 minutes to Palm Beach. On the way, he calls Nate, begging him for Josephine’s home address, assuring him it’s an emergency. Josephine doesn’t answer the door when Wells arrives, so he kicks it in.
