I take a seat at one of the small tables in the hotel bar. A few of my teammates have gathered around at the other tables as they all wait on drinks from the bar. We've had an easy travel day and arrived in St. Louis this afternoon. We had a team dinner before being given the rest of the night as a free one. Coach trusts that we won't be out all night partying it up, especially with an important game on the line tomorrow night. We're currently in second place in our division, but we still have a ways to go before securing our place in the playoffs. We need to keep winning to make that happen.

Camden takes a seat in the chair across from me. He's got a beer glass in one hand as he sits down.

"Smart man," I tell him as I continue to wait for the one I ordered ten minutes ago.

"I got here before the rush and was just chatting with Graham and Kaden over at the other end of the bar."

"Gotcha," I say as the frazzled server stops at the table and sets down my beer. "Thanks," I tell her.

"Did you have anything else?" she asks.

"Nope, this was all."

"Great. Just flag me down if you need anything else," she says. They must not have thought the entire team would come here tonight, as there's only the one server and bartender on right now. Needless to say, none of us are in a rush or worried.

"Will do. You're doing a great job," I assure her.

"Thanks, I'm trying. It's only my third shift, so I'm still learning the ropes." I think of Courtney and how it must have been for her when she started working as a server. People can be such assholes to servers when things aren't coming out as quickly as they think they should be.

"My girlfriend is a part-time server, so I understand the stress," I say, hoping it will help her nerves.

"She's lucky to have you," she says before walking away.

"It's the opposite," I start to say, but she's too far away to hear me in the noisy bar. The word must have gotten out that we're here as people start to pour in, making the place that much more packed and busy.

"Want to head up to the lounge?" I ask Camden. We have a reserved lounge for the team.

"Yeah, I'm ready to get out of this place," he says as he looks around at the packed room. We both take our drinks and make our way out. I hit the button of the elevator. Once inside, I slide my room key along the sensor that allows me to select the floor the lounge is on.

"How long were you in San Francisco?" I ask as we ride up.

"Went there two seasons ago during the offseason."

"Nice place they built out there."

"Yeah, they spared no expense when they were building. Nathan, the owner, wanted the place to have all the newest and best things available to his team.
