APRIL
I didn’t excusemyself to go to the bathroom.
I wandered around the apartment until I found the bathroom.
As I shut the door, I twisted the lock.
Then I stood at the sink and turned on the cold water.
Not even two seconds later I suddenly had to pee.
I clenched my legs tight together, which felt like the smart move to make in more than one way.
I mouthedoh-my-godand touched my lips.
I swallowed hard.
Okay, April.
Listen.
This is how it’s going to be.
In a way, you knew about this, okay?
Don’t deny it.
Listen, I get it.
You’re not exactly a fan of hockey. You didn’t keep up with his career.
You’re still secretly mad at him for leaving all those years ago.
But you know he had to leave, to go become a rich and famous hockey player.
Your heart was just vulnerable and you had a crush on him.
That’s all good.
But you saw him back then.
You knew what was going to happen to him.
What did you think? He was going to turn out ugly?
He’s been gorgeous from the day you met him.
Okay, now, hold on…
I get it.
This is much different.
He’s not some ‘bad boy’ anymore.
He doesn’t have the tall, tone type vibe anymore.
He’s… well, he’s a man now.
