Chapter Thirteen

She had never been quite as uncomfortable at a hockey game as she was at this one was.

Which was ridiculous. It made absolutely no sense at all. Jenny normally loved watching the games. The fast pace. The intensity. The hard-hitting grit and heart the players brought to the ice every single shift.

Tonight should have been even more exciting. A time for celebration. The Bombers were leading by two points. She had a prime seat right on the glass. Her brother was playing hard, aggressive, digging in the corners and battling for the puck each time he was on the ice. Tyler was playing well, blocking most of the other team's shots, his limber body bending and contorting in ways that made her mouth water as she squirmed in the seat, thinking of all the other ways his limber body moved.

And she finally got the job offer she wanted. She'd be starting as the new assistant manager at one of the clothing stores in the mall on Monday. Life was good. Better than good. So yeah, she should be excited and celebrating, sitting on the edge of her seat, laughing and cheering and banging the glass every time play came near them.

Except she wasn't.

She was sitting with Megan and her friend, Haley—an outgoing redhead who cheered as loudly as she booed, and who couldn't seem to stop talking about Zach. One minute she was busy ogling him or talking about his tattoos. The next, she was ranting about how rude and obnoxious he was. Jenny couldn't be sure, but there seemed to be a definite love-hate relationship brewing there.

Or maybe she was just reading into things. Maybe it was just a hate-hate relationship because she could have sworn she heard Megan mention something about Haley's boyfriend. Or maybe it was an ex-boyfriend. Whoever he was, he seemed to be a real piece of work from what she'd been able to glean from the whispered bits of hissed conversation.

And then there was Megan herself, who looked almost as uncomfortable as Jenny felt. She didn't seem to know much about the game, which was fine by Jenny—not everyone did. If not for being around it all her life because of Jason, she wouldn't know much about it, either. Megan would learn, eventually, if she and Jason stuck together. From the dreamy, almost distracted look in her eyes whenever her gaze followed Jason on the ice, Jenny was fairly certain the couple would be together for quite a long time.

Good. For as big a pain in her ass as he could be, she wanted Jason to be happy.

But she still felt uncomfortable, like an outsider. The other two women would occasionally talk about the different players, laughing about how this one did that or how so-and-so acted at Megan's bar. They looked at her, expectant smiles on their faces, waiting for her to contribute her own stories. But she couldn't, because she didn't really know the other players, hadn't spent any time around any of them.
