It always made me sad to fly away from my family after a vacation spent with them. But preparing to return to Salt Lake City after the wedding was more difficult than I could have imagined. Guilt about the lies I would have to tell my family in the near future soured in my stomach.
Not only that, but this was the end of Olle pretending to be my boyfriend. I made sure to make the most of our last evening together, giving him such adoring looks across the coffee table that my family probably thought we were on the verge of a proposal.
As we checked-in at Nashville Airport, it cheered me up slightly to think that we werenât going to go back to when Iâd been just a fan and Olle hadnât even known my name.
This time, he would definitely remember me!
But I still wondered whether he would want to see me again. When heâd talked about work coming first, Iâd realized that Olle probably didnât have time to date. And it didnât sound like he was all that interested in changing it, either.
I tried to put those thoughts aside as we settled next to each other on the flight. âSo, what are you most looking forward to about getting home?â I asked, trying to dwell on positives rather than negatives.
Olle gave me a look that implied that I should know the answer to that. And really, when that answer was âhockeyâ, I rolled my eyes. Not at him - or his obsession with work - but rather at myself for not having predicted that to be the answer.
Then, Olle laughed. âNot just that,â he said with some amusement. âI look forward to the gym, too,â he grinned. âBut also just seeing the guys. Itâs weird to get time off from them when weâre still playing. Theyâre like my family.â
I nodded at that. From what I knew of hockey and the players, and I knew a fair bit from how many interviews Iâd read, being close knit was important to their gameplay.
âIâll have to introduce you to them,â Olle hummed, surprising me. âI mean, theyâre not as chill as your family, but theyâre alright. Most of them anyway,â he laughed.
âI have met Will already,â I pointed out, my tone teasing. Heâd been going out with my best friend for over a year, and theyâd even moved in together, so, of course, Iâd spent some time with Will.
It would be exciting to meet the rest of the team as something other than their friendâs girlfriendâs friend! That relationship always felt just a bit too tenuous for anyone really to notice me.
But if Olle introduced me, that would be different. âI meant more what about your house will you be most excited for?â I clarified. As much as I loved my family home, I was still eager to put my favorite music on and dance around in a way I couldnât do with other people in the house.
âIâm excited about sleeping in my own bed,â Olle admitted, shooting me a look.
