Blake looked satisfied and said, \u201cYour form looks genuinely professional.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avla missed the next ball and bent down to pick it up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked, \u201cWhen did you learn to play?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mom Juliana had taught her tennis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla always thought Ms. Juliana could do everything. That never changed even after she grew up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cI learned when I was in elementary school.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blake said, \u201cThat explains it. Your posture looks sharp.\u201d She lifted her own racket and said, \u201cJames, you play with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James had wanted to poke at Draven, but Ayla caught him off guard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He figured she lied the first time because she didn\u2019t know them. She showed up today, so he dropped the attitude and joined Blake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s swing still looked clean, but she had not played in a long time. Her arm strength was weak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven hit hard and fast. After a few rallies, her form almost fell apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pushed herself to hold on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She felt his next shot come in lighter. She noticed it right away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked at Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven stood far away with a cold face and said, \u201cKeep going. I\u2019ll train with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fragile look was long out of style. Women needed strength and muscle. Only enemies wanted her weak, and Ayla wanted power. She needed to work out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A partner like Draven was a gift. She would not waste that chance,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tennis was hard without strength training. Most people needed pairs so they could rest between sets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman and Will showed up late.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They entered through the west gate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They saw Troy and did not say a thing as they passed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy saw them too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ayla had already walked over to that side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hated seeing Ayla in front of him and told her to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stepped out of his line of sight without a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Troy looked at Herman and suddenly had doubts. Maybe Ayla was not here for the reason he thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A different possibility hit him. His face darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy threw the racket aside and pushed open the fence door. He walked after Herman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla wanted to go too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Herman was here, then James and Draven might be nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And if Ayla was playing with Draven, that thought made her chest twist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wanted to see for herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max said in a lazy voice, \u201cIf they fight, it will feel awkward if you stand there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla froze in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She felt like Max loved picking at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She opened her mouth, but Max cut in with that careless tone. He said, \u201cOr maybe you want to calm them down and then watch them act all sweet. You want a whole sea of cute couple moments thrown at you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He asked, \u201cYou think you can swallow that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla blinked, confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could not tell if Max was on her side or Ayla\u2019s side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cAre you trying to make me mad?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max said, \u201cWe\u2019ve known each other forever. Why would I try that? I know how Troy feels about you. You don\u2019t need to lift a finger, and he\u2019ll still love you. So stop stirring things up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
People usually never said this part out loud,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max actually hoped they got married soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said it straight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla liked the sound of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She just hated when people guessed her thoughts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She still felt sure Max was supporting her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skyla sat on the bench and said, \u201cMax, I know your personality. You act like this with every woman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lifted her chin with pride and said, \u201cBut you better think straight. That\u2019s Ayla. Stay away from her if you can. I respect whatever you do, but she is still Troy\u2019s wife right now. You need to keep yourself in line. We won\u2019t get along if you don\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max said, \u201cYou talk like you care a lot about her being Troy\u2019s wife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla snapped, \u201cSo you really want to piss me off today?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max raised his hands a little and said, \u201cMs. Summer, please. I would never dare. Troy protects you crazy. If he hears I upset you, he\u2019ll kill me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sounded sincere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla let out a cold laugh and said, \u201cI\u2019m reminding you so you don\u2019t lose your friendship.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max said, \u201cThanks for the warning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
like\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyes narrowed a little, and his smile never warmed. He said, \u201cI\u2019ll make sure I value my friendship with Troy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He meant the kind of friendship that would fall apart someday, but not yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max rolled the tennis racket in his hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he said, \u201cBut stop trying to manage me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max swung a ball across the court in one clean hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stood tall in the sunlight with a long shadow stretched behind him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He tilted his head at her. His eyes usually looked soft when he stared at people or trash, but there was no softness now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
