Captain Hook rubs a hand over his hair from front to back and lets out a short puff of a sigh as he grabs the pair of boxing gloves, which he last received, and stands. The music is turned down and the room goes mostly silent. “I’ll make this short and sweet.”

“You? Sweet?” Tommy Boy interrupts, earning himself some chuckles and a glare from Brayden.

“He got the game-winning goal and he was the best D-man on the ice tonight. Good job, Bruiser.” Brayden tosses them to me and I catch them easily.

“Thanks, Captain Hooker. We all did real well.”

“Fucker,” he grumbles. He tolerates Captain Hook. Making it Hooker pushes it too far. I like to tease him every now and then. That’s all I’m willing to do. Brayden is usually an uptight guy, always serious, and I think in all the time I’ve known him, he’s smiled maybe twice. I don’t think he even smiles after he scores. It’s like there’s a permanent frown on his face.

Zane and Marc slap my shoulders in congrats as the rest of the guys hoot from their places across the room. A social media guru for the team comes in, so I hurry up and hang them around my neck for the photo she’ll take.

“Bruiser’s just showing off tonight because his woman came to watch,” Rams says.

“That makes sense,” Olsey nods. “He’s usually such a slacker.” He grins.

“Thank fuck he’s finally with his woman. He can focus instead of being on his phone all the damn time,” Marc adds.

“Shut the hell up. All of you.” Sydney had no effect on how I played. Thinking of her now, though, reminds me that I need to hurry the hell up and get out of here.

“Why do we have boxing gloves anyway?” Z asks, a bit quietly even though the music is turned back up so it’s unlikely anyone but me will hear him anyway.

“Ah, because Rebels are fighters? It’s symbolic? You gotta fight for what you want.”

“Kind of ironic though, don’t you think? We take the gloves off when we fight.”

I laugh. “Hey, I didn’t pick it.”

I make my way to the showers for a quick one and then get dressed, listening to the guys talk about our plans. A bunch of us are going to a bar. It surprises me a little that Brayden is going. He normally goes home if I had to guess. Which, it’s not like I always went out with the team because I chose Sydney instead, but when I did go, Brayden wasn’t there. Liam never goes either, and even he is going tonight. There are just some nights that brings those teammates out of their hiding places. This must be one of those nights.

“Are you going to the bar?” Zane asks me.

“Yeah. You?”

“Don’t think so.”

“How come?” He normally goes, I think, and especially if I go.

He shrugs.

“Come on, Z. You should go. It’ll be fun. Everyone else is going.”

In the end, I’m unable to talk him into going. I have a feeling it has something to do with Deanna.
