We turn into Victorâs driveway and pull up to a three-car garage. He jumps out of his vehicle and comes to my window. I push the button to lower it so I can hear him.
âPark inside the garage, next to the sports car. This way, my teammates wonât see your car in the driveway,â he explains.
âSome of them live here?â I whine. Iâm not happy about bumping into his teammates when Iâm here. In fact, Iâm downright mortified. What if they see us? Hockey Scoop would love to break this news to the sports world. However, into the garage I go. Where else can I stay besides a hotel?
I havenât heard from my insurance company, and it will take weeks, if not months, to fix my house. I still have to pay my mortgage, and hotels arenât cheap. Iâm not ready to swallow my pride and ask my dad for help. No, Iâll ride it out on my own as long as I can.
While I park, Victor carries my possessions into the house. I follow and find him walking up a beautiful wood staircase to the second floor.
âFollow me. I have a master bedroom for you.â
His home is spectacular with its high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows along the back of the house with breathtaking views of a wooded area. Mother Nature can be cruel during the winter, but today with all the fresh powder, sheâs magnificent. Itâs a freaking wonderland. Itâs so quiet here, I wonder how he keeps his sanity.

âYou have your own bathroom in here and plenty of towels and toiletries in the linen closet. Make yourself at home.â
âThank you so much.â My lips quiver at his hospitality and generosity.
âI get it.â His voice is soft with empathy. I canât look at him. Iâm too vulnerable, especially now. I canât fall for him. Ha, as if, I laugh inside my head. Iâm being ridiculous. Heâs made it clear heâs not looking for anything serious.
We could not be more opposite. All my relationships are long term and all his are short term. The mistake I make is committing myself to a man before I get to really know him. By the time I see red flags, Iâm in too deep. Then I resort to denial and put blinders on while my life reaches a boiling point, and I canât wait to leave.
After six months with Paul the relationship was heading south, and I should never have let it go for as long as it did. Paul was moody and tended to have a volatile personality. I started making excuses for his behavior shortly after we started dating, and it became a habit. I
