Terry is a high school basketball coach with a double life he's spent years protecting — and in Chapter 7 of The Man Next Door Has a Secret DL Life Chronicles, the two sides of that life finally end up in the same room.

When Game 1 puts him face to face with a rival head coach who knows exactly who Terry is — because he's the same thing — the handshake at center court carries eleven years of history in a single grip.

Back at home, Claire and Simone are having the fight that's been building, and what starts as a post-game drink in Terry's backyard mancave becomes the kind of night that doesn't get mentioned in the group chat.
