Chapter Seven

Kyla and Tag arrived at his parents’ home in the late afternoon of Christmas Eve, ready to have dinner with his whole family and then go to church. Tag parked in the driveway of her parents’ home across the street from his parents’ place. Her parents were away in Vancouver having Christmas with her brother and his family.

“Looks like there’s a party going on,” Tag said with a grin, surveying the vehicles lining the narrow residential street.

“Well, I guess there is.”

Tag’s good mood was a little hard to handle when she was so stressed. She knew he was happy to be seeing all his brothers again. They’d all been together in the summer and it had been so much fun. The Hellers were like her own family, since she’d grown up across the street from them, and their families had lake cottages side by side where they’d spent most of their summers.

When she thought about it, it was a little amazing that the boys she’d followed around the neighborhood, the boys who’d taught her to skate and play baseball and how to water ski at the lake, were now famous, wealthy professional athletes. She’d known growing up that they were all talented hockey players, everyone had known that, but making it into the NHL wasn’t easy and all four of them had done it. Well, Matt hadn’t yet played his first NHL game, but he’d been drafted and it wouldn’t be long before he was ready to make that move.

She pressed a hand to her abdomen as they walked up the sidewalk.

Inside, the house was loud and testosterone-laden with all the big hunky hockey players. She greeted Matt with a fond hug, happy to see him home from college in North Dakota, then Jase and Remi.

“So nice to see you,” Kyla whispered to Remi as they embraced. “I heard the news…you must be so relieved.”

Remi met her eyes and gave a brief nod. “I am,” she admitted. “But…” She bit her lip and cast a sideways glance at Jase.

Kyla tipped her head in question, but there was no opportunity for a private chat just then.

Then Logan was greeting her. They hugged and he stepped back to introduce her to Nicole. “This is Kyla MacIntosh,” he said. “Kyla, Nicole.”

“Nice to meet you,” Kyla said, trying for enthusiasm despite her distracted mood. She really was happy to see Remi and to meet Nicole. She’d been the only girl with all the guys all those years. It would be nice to have more female company. “Welcome to Winnipeg.”

“Thanks,” Nicole said quietly with a small smile.

Kyla drifted to the kitchen to help Tag’s mom, watching affectionately as Tag reconnected with his brothers and his dad. They were all so pumped to see each other, it was really cute.

“How’s work?” Laura asked.

Kyla turned her attention to Laura as she pulled a tray of appetizers out of the stove. “Are those sausage rolls? Tag loves those.”

“I know.” Laura smiled.

“Work is good,” Kyla said, her shoulders tightening thinking about it.
