JACK

After two games against the Portland Wolves and two games against the San Francisco Whips, I’m glad to be back in Seattle with three days off ahead of me.

With the pre-season over and the regular season about to start, it’s the perfect time for a bit of rest and relaxation.

Taking a well-deserved night off, I get dressed to go out for dinner at Logan’s place. He wants to have the rookies over for dinner and I’m more than happy to have a night away from Connor. With Daisy still gone, Connor is starting to get a bit too clingy.

After a shower and shave, I pull on some black slacks, a crisp white shirt, and a blue cashmere sweater that I know looks good on me. After a spritz of cedar cologne, I run a dollop of gel through my hair and make my way upstairs.

The sun is about an hour from setting and golden light is filtering in through the kitchen window. Connor is in the dining room setting up a table for two. He’s lighting candles and everything.

“Oh.” I scratch the back of my neck. “This is very romantic but I’m going out for dinner with the guys.”

Connor chuckles. “It’s for Daisy. Her professor has appendicitis and is in emergency surgery. Isn’t that great?”

“Umm… I guess?”

“I mean, her Wednesday class is canceled. She’s coming back for two days! Oh, I can’t wait to see her. She should be here any minute now.”

“Sweet. But it’s only been like three weeks since she left,” I say, perplexed.

“Feels like three months.” Connor lights the last candle. “There! Won’t she love that?”

“I guess.”

The door opens and Daisy drops her suitcase.

“Connor!” She runs down the hall at full speed.

Running straight past me, she rushes toward Connor with such force that she knocks him over as she attacks him with kisses.

“Daisy, I missed you so much.”

“Me too, honey.”

They continue their very public display of affection.

Averting my gaze, I feign an interest in the cutlery on the table. I wait for them to stop but they just keep going.

Pulling Connor to his feet, Daisy guides him to the stairs as she starts unbuttoning her jacket. They continue kissing as they make their way upstairs.

“Umm. Okay, then,” I call out. “Nice to see you too, Daisy.”

Without looking up from their makeout session, she gives me a quick wave from the stairs. “Hi Jack, bye Jack!”

“I’ll blow out the candles for you guys,” I call out.

“Thank you!” They both say from the top of the stairs.

Leaning over the table, I blow out the candles, allowing a trail of black smoke to curl through the air.

The bed upstairs starts to creak.

“Great,” I mumble to myself. “A preview of the next few days.”

Grabbing my phone and keys, I leave before they start getting too loud.

Fifteen minutes later, I’m standing with Austin inside the small lobby area of Logan’s two-unit condo. I can already tell that Logan dropped a lot of dough on this place.

“Is it just us?” I ask.

“I think so,” Austin says.
