It’s an early game Saturday and I can’t wait to get the hell out of here. I hit the shower as soon as I’m done with two out-of-the-blue interviews off the ice—basically attacked by media again. One of them mentioned my sister and I almost punched him in the face. Luckily a reporter—also an old flame— intervened immediately with a few of her own questions.

The best part about tonight—Cora’s here. After she skipped our last few games, I thought she was keeping her distance so she can think this thing between us through. And I want her to. I asked for a lot, and probably didn’t make it sound like it was going to be any fun—so I’m hoping tonight, I can prove it will be.

I’m the last one in the locker room when I hear a sultry female voice and my skin tingles.

“Hey twenty-seven.”

I don’t mind interviews with her—the woman knows what she’s doing and gets to the point. Lori Conrad knows the kind of shit we want heard—so her questions are always on point. But I don’t exactly want her sneaking up on me alone in the locker room. I didn’t like it when we were hooking up. And I certainly don’t like it now.

At this point, I’m relieved I had a chance to put my shorts on before stepping back into the locker room.

“How’d you get in here?” I approach her but only because she’s standing directly in front of my locker.

“One of these.” She holds up her reporter badge.

“You just missed the rest of the team, but I think they’re heading upstairs.”

She scans me with a grin. “I didn’t miss anyone.”

That makes two of us.

“You already interviewed me.”

“Thought you’d like to know, you’re our feature cover for next month’s issue.”

“Can it wait until I get my shirt on?” I point to my locker.

She shifts slightly. “I’m not a photographer, but thought you’d give me a bigger interview for page three. They’re giving me the whole page, Kane.”

“No, they’re giving me the whole page. You just have to type it all.” I flash her a smile.

She laughs and pushes against my shoulder as I open my locker. “So what do you say, should we do this over drinks tonight? We can keep it real casual, I’m sure you want to get out of here.”

I’m aware of another body in the room and my eyes move to the door. Cora stands at the threshold, her lips parted. Her eyes shift from Lori to me and she takes a step back awkwardly, as if she’s walked in on a private moment. “Sorry I was looking…”

“Hey beautiful, come on in, I’ll only be a minute.” I turn back to other woman. “I’ve got other plans tonight, Lori, but happy to do a video conference or something in the next few days.” I watch her and wait for her leave. I’m standing close enough for her to read the disinterest on my face.

She pushes off the locker next to mine. “Right.
