Ten seconds left in a game.
Inthegame.
The biggest game of the season.
The biggest game of my life.
I was suddenly much younger.
Barely just eighteen.
Ready to take on the world.
On the ice, alone, envisioning every possible scenario I’d face.
Time had a funny way of repeating itself when you didn’t want it to. Or when you didn’t expect it to slap you in the face.
I brought my hockey stick back.
From the corner of my eye I saw movement.
I turned my head as I took the shot.
The puck sailed through the air and went into the net.
But my eyes weren’t focused on anything hockey related.
All I could do was stare at Anna…
“This is a private facility,”I called out to her.
“Which I have full access to,” she replied.
“How?”
“I’m Dr. Autumn. That’s how.”
I gritted my teeth.
Of course Ellen gave Anna access to everything.
That meant full access to me at all times.
It also meant there was no getting away from Anna.
“I’m busy, Anna.”
“That’s okay. I’ll wait.”
So folded her arms.
Oh, you defiant woman.
I refused to skate toward her.
She refused to walk away.
“I’m not kidding. I will literally stand here as long as I need to.”
