Google could be an evil thing, but Taylor couldn’t seem to resist it. She was surprised it had taken her this long to type in those two words—Josh Walker.

She was just curious. Knowing him, there wouldn’t be much. He wasn’t as much the public figure as someone like Mack. The first few pages were from various hockey sites, showing his stats along with a picture that was taken of him right after he was drafted. Taylor laughed at the cuteness of the eighteen-year-old kid version of him. He was only a year younger than she was now, but he’d changed.

The boyishness was still in his face, but he’d grown taller and much broader. He now had the muscles of a seasoned athlete, not a kid playing at being one.

Taylor knew she should stop there. It would’ve been better if she had. Instead, she moved her finger across the touch pad to bring the cursor over the images button and tapped twice.

Pictures covered the screen. Most were of Josh at various stages of his hockey career, but then there were others. His family was a prominent one in Connecticut, and the images chronicled their charity events and galas. Josh was in many of these, a date always by his side, even in the younger pictures.

One girl was in a lot of these, but she looked older than him. Her long auburn hair shone as it draped across her slender shoulders. Then there was a blonde. A leggy, gorgeous blonde. And the list went on. Each girl wore a dress that looked more expensive than the last.

Taylor crossed her arms over her chest as Abigail came in.

“You haven’t even started getting ready, darlin’?” she asked.

“I don’t know if I can do this.” Taylor sighed.

“Of course you can.” She glanced at the computer in front of her roommate. “What have you been in here doing?”

Taylor turned the screen for her to see.

“Oh, Hon.” Sitting down next to her, she wrapped an arm around Taylor’s shoulders. “This isn’t really what you’re upset about, is it?”

“Kind of.”

“You know what?” Abigail clapped her hands together. “I’m going to do your hair. Then we’re going to put on our fabulous dresses. Tonight we get to be the princesses.”

“I don’t know what I’d do without you.” Taylor laughed.

“I know. I’m awesome.”

Taylor’s phone chimed with a text message from Josh.

Will I see you at the ball?

She smiled as she ran her fingers over the keys.

You bet.

His reply came within seconds.

I want to dance with you all night.

She didn’t know how to respond to that, and before she got the chance, he’d sent another message.

I would have invited you to go with me, but the first part of the night is team stuff and I thought you’d have more fun if you went with your friends.

That explained what had been bugging her.

At least we’ll both be there. She sent back.

I’ll find you.
