It’s game day and I’ve barely slept.

The arena is packed with people. Thirty-thousand fans have come for this game, the team colors stridently splashed across the rows. Red and black for the Lansing Devils; orange and blue for the Ottawa Mavericks. There are more supporters from Ottawa obviously since they are the home team, but the Devils are pretty well represented. I’m uber-proud to say that a lot of the Devils’ gains come from Kyle’s remarkable talent.

Watching him glide across the ice reminds me so much of Dad that I have to contend with countless shivers running down my back whenever he hits that puck. We’re in the middle of the second period already, and it’s a tight score so far.

Jack is constantly shouting at the boys, mostly code words so as not to give away a single part of their strategy. Alex keeps Kyle safe whenever they go on the offensive, while the defense clumps tightly together as soon as the Mavericks get a hold of the puck. The crowd roars and cheers in fierce turns as the puck changes possession from team to team.

“Woo-hoo, Alex, you go, baby!” I hear Lara Romanoff screaming a couple of seats over.

She brought her posse of bleached-blonde friends along. Lara is wearing a tight red top with black jeans and a Lansing Devils scarf draped over her shoulders, her lips glistening with crimson gloss and her blue eyes persistently set on Alex. She watches his every move, while the rest of her group clap their hands and whistle and try to blend in. They don’t really fit with this crowd, but the team needs all the support they can get.

“That’s right, baby!” Lara shouts, throwing her hands up when Alex scores a goal.

The whole arena is in an uproar, and I try hard to vibe along with them but I find myself bothered by her presence. I didn’t talk to Alex about her, mainly because he never mentions her or her social media activities.

By the stroke of bad luck or perhaps karma, Noah happens to be seated next to me in the seat to my left. I can sense the heat from his gaze and I turn to meet his stare.

My stomach tightens as a smirk dances across his lips. Good grief, he’s gorgeous even when he’s pissed off, and I am positively helpless sitting so close to him. “Does it bug you?” he asks, pulling my focus away from the game.

“Does what bug me?” I reply.

“Watching Alex get all that adoration. I’ll bet you she’ll try to get into the lockers to see him. Everybody is talking about them getting together.”

It’s like a punch in the chest, but I feel like I deserve his sting. The calmness in his voice tells me he is in perfect control of his emotions, despite the shadows in his eyes. Yet I do not allow his words to get to me. I don’t want to give him any more satisfaction, not when the only thing I wish for is to have him back in my arms, to be his good girl once again.
