When we couldn’t see each other in person, we fell back on texting or—if my kids weren’t home or if I could do it discreetly—FaceTime. Tonight, he’d been at practice until late, and I’d just come back from a long shift, so even our FaceTime call wasn’t very long. Still, it was always good to talk with him, even if it was just to catch up about our days.

After I’d hung up with Asher tonight, I stayed there for a long time, just lying back on my bed with my phone on my chest. The apartment was completely silent. The kids were at their mom’s, so I hadn’t had to worry about keeping my voice down or just texting. They hadn’t mentioned me seeing anyone since the night they’d questioned me about whether I was dating again, so I had no idea if they thought I was still seeing someone or if that had been the end of it. Conversations were still a bit of a minefield, and I’d been too spineless to bring it up and see where I stood with them.

Exhaling, I rubbed my forehead. I still felt seriously guilty about keeping this from them. They needed time after Marcus, though. And for that matter, I needed some time with Asher before I decided if he was going to cross paths with my kids. I needed to be damn sure about someone before that became an option. So for the time being, we had to keep it on the down-low.

Though God knew how long I’d be able to keep it on the down-low. Athletes’ love lives weren’t usually quite as high-profile as those of actors or politicians, but Asher was a different story. He’d been under a microscope from the moment he’d been drafted into the Professional Hockey League. I remembered that, even if I’d had no clue I’d one day be getting to know Asher, never mind in the biblical sense. It had been big news. A top-tier athlete who was openly gay? The only openly gay pro hockey player in history? Oh yeah. That got some attention.

Which meant it was only a matter of time before we got some attention.

I sighed, staring up at the ceiling as I drummed my nails on the back of my phone. The question was, did I tell my kids I was sort of dating Asher Crowe? Or did I let the media tell them whatever salacious story sold clicks and magazines? Especially since it wasn’t like David and Claire would miss anything that the media said about Asher. They were big fans. Both kids had Seattle Steelheads posters up in their rooms, and David had won a signed photo of Asher in a raffle a season or two ago. Because that wasn’t remotely weird, realizing my kids both had pictures of the guy I was seeing, and they didn’t even know it.

So, if they found out I was dating Asher, would they still be upset that I was dating someone
