Seeing Rayne in the crowd makes me play harder than I have in a while.

Well, that and the fact that I had one of the best nights of my life with her. That was one hell of a birthday celebration.

Seeing her show up for me despite giving her the chance not to must mean she doesn’t regret it. That fuels the fire on this ice.

I’m doing things I shouldn’t do. Especially with a scout in the crowd like driving the puck all by myself to the net. That gets me a goal, so does skating backward to the net so I can see the look on her face. My dad in the stands is nothing but stress, but Rayne? She makes me want to do my best. Especially in that little outfit she’s wearing that she knows drives me fucking insane.

King standing next to her doesn’t rile me up like it did last night. We hashed it out this morning. Said he didn't like seeing me so close to his girl and, same here. But the shiner under his eye helps.

We finish the game with a solid shutout. Five to nothing and the boys relish in the win. It puts us far ahead in the league and this win is bound to impress any scouts. And Ray.

“Looking good, Perez.” Turning around a man in a suit tips his head to me. He’s from the Bruins. Dad played for them for a few years. “Expect to hear from us.” I keep a straight face, nodding, but there’s a party going on inside and when I look over at Coach, he smiles.

“You gave it your all today, Perez.” Coach gives me a hard pat on my back. “You deserve it. Oh, and there’s someone else here to see you.” He steps aside, Ray in that outfit behind him and this is starting to feel like a win all over again. “I’ll round up the guys. Keep your hands to yourself, Perez. I’m always watching.” Coach points at his eyes, then mine before walking to the locker room. I thought he’d be mad that she came up but it looks like they’ve sorted something out.

“Hey,” she says, biting the nail of her thumb. That hasn’t changed and that means she’s nervous. “Congrats on the win. You have impressive skills, Perez.”

I take a step towards her, towering over her in my skates. “You talking about the hockey game or last night?”

“Next time I’ll be sure to bring scorecards.”

That sassy humour makes me smile. “So there’ll be a next time?”

"Not if you keep begging for it like a horned-up puppy." She pushes on my chest with a laugh, her cheeks reddening and after last night, it’s clear some walls are gone. “So," she hesitates, her toffee eyes meeting mine, rocking on her boots. "I guess, I’ll see you back in Eden?”

“Or in thirty minutes,” I confirm. “You’re riding with me.”

She scrunches her nose. “And twenty other guys? No."

I laugh. “I’m not riding with those sweaty ballsacks.
