CHAPTER 22

RIGGS

Outlaw is completely in her element as the Hurricanes host the Bruins. I can’t say I’m not enjoying my first professional hockey game, but witnessing her get so pumped over a team that has nothing to do with her is honestly amazing. Jensen has always been into watching sports, admired teams and cheered like those athletes actually know who he is. I’ve never been one to see people as role models, to admire celebrities, or put anyone on a pedestal. I just don’t see the point.

They are simply people who have honed in their craft and perfected their talents. They put in the work and got what they deserved for it. Admiring people just rubs me the wrong way. However, after knowing Outlaw and how much work she puts into hockey, becoming the youngest captain the college has ever seen, I can appreciate the level at which they play.

Hockey really is an all-consuming sport that takes a massive amount of skill.

A Bruins defenseman hip checks one of the Hurricanes, sending him flying as the puck flies off in the other direction. Outlaw jumps to her feet, launching her arms in the air in a cheer as the rest of the crowd boos. She doesn’t care that she’s supporting the opposition in a crowd of home team supporters.

Eyes land on her, none of them friendly, but some of them do laugh as they point at her. I catalog each one of them, a foreign sensation crawling down my spine. Doom? Something certainly ominous.

I scan the crowd, not familiar with anyone in here, but I can’t shake the feeling that we’re being watched by someone other than disgruntled fans.

Outlaw drops back down in her seat, not caring one bit that the other fans now want her out of the arena. She turns to me with a wicked grin on her face that eases some of my turmoil. I’m just edgy because of everything that’s been going on. We’ve been doing our best not to leave her by herself, so Jonas can’t get to her at all.

Being out in the open like this with so many people around probably wasn’t the best idea. Not only has he continued to claim her and show up at random places to talk to her, but he has attacked me and my bike. Jonas has no problem getting physical, and it’s going to be so much harder to keep her safe.

If we even can. There are only so many of us and a ton of moments in a day when Jonas can make a move. After destroying my bike, carving those words into the tank, I want to know what his endgame is. Is he really set on getting her back? Would he hurt her, kidnap her? How far does he plan to take this if she doesn’t comply with what he wants?

Just needing to touch her, to feel that she’s real, I return her smile and prop an arm over her shoulders when she sits back.
