Chapter 11

Emma didn't care about decorum. She didn't care if Kyle needed space or time; he had two days of that. She needed to apologize. She needed to make this right.

The game had been a disaster. The Suns beat them six to zero despite the home ice advantage. She hadn't seen a game played so poorly since their 2010-2011 season, where they came in under five hundred - which meant they didn't break even with the amount of games they played. That was when Ken Brown fired the coach and brought in Henry Wayne to coach. Things started turning around at that point; they never made the playoffs but at least they played better.

To be honest, Emma had no idea what she could do to tell Kyle she was sorry. She knew she needed to put herself out there but not in a way where it put him on the spot or made him uncomfortable. She kissed her father on the cheek once the game was over and headed into the team store to see if there was anything she could get for him.

Which was stupid since Kyle had everything he could want and wasn't particularly materialistic.

Her eye caught sight of an adorable polar bear with a Newport Gulls home jersey on. She couldn't help but smile at it? And for a minute, she imagined it in the corner of an oak crib, keeping a sleeping baby company. On a whim, she decided to buy the bear, using her season ticket holder discount, and went down to the locker rooms to wait for Kyle to emerge from the locker room.

When she got there, Harper and Zach were just leaving.

"Em, what are you doing here?" Harper asked, furrowing her brow.

Emma tilted her head to the side. "I'm here to see Kyle," she said as though it was obvious.

Harper and Zach glanced at each other before Zach murmured, "Emma, he took off right after Cherney released us. I think he wanted to go home before the media asked to interview him."

"Oh." She felt her cheeks burn with frustration at the fact that they knew something she didn't about her boyfriend. She felt like an idiot, a fool. She was angry with Kyle for ditching her and angry with herself for causing this tension between them in the first place. "Okay, well, I'll check on him then."

"That's probably a good idea," Zach agreed with a nod. "He needs all the love he can get."

Emma pressed her lips together and looked away.

"Do you want us to walk with you to your car?" Harper asked, her voice soft and compassionate.

Emma looked at her friend and squeezed the bag holding the bear. She shook her head, forcing a smile on her face. "No," she said. "No, I'll be okay. Thank you, though."

Harper pressed her lips together and squeezed her forearm. "Call me when you're home," she murmured.

Emma nodded. She couldn't find it in her to respond.

She huffed a sigh and decided she could figure out what to do on her way to the car.
