Maybe that’s why?
For me, I knew. I knew how good I was and that I’d be getting in, no problem. For Alex to struggle and then get an offer, now that’s a big payoff.
I want to hug and squeeze Lenny. I want to tell her why I called Hank in, and explain how good I thought Alex was. I saw some videos of him at home before I called Hank just to make sure. I think he’s going to be an excellent pick up for Drexton. He’ll fit right in, but it’s also because of the way I feel for Lenny.
I’m happy just watching her happiness. That's all I need.
I can’t tell her.
She has my fucking heart. It’s all hers, and if she knew that then hell, I’m a goner.
Hank pulls me over to tell me I have a great eye for talent. He asks about my knee, knowing I hurt it, but not knowing about the surgery. He then asks me about Lenny. He noticed her writing away and asking questions. Hank warned me to be careful. To make sure I was really sure about her before getting involved with the press. It could be bad down the line.
I don’t need bad press before my career takes off.
It’s not that I think Lenny would say anything bad about me. Nothing that would ruin my career or my reputation. She lives for the game, not the gossip.
That’s what scares me.
I’m so sure about her. I’m positive that being with her will be great.
It scares the shit out of me, knowing that I would change my life for her. I had a plan this year. I was set on it, and now I want to change all of it just to be with her.
It’s not that I would give up hockey. I wouldn’t give up the NHL. I’m not ready to give that up. Bum knee or not.
When I saw Lenny sitting in the stands cheering me on, and seeing her here watching us practice, I could see her fitting in with my future.
That’s the shit that scares me.
That’s why I left. I leave Alex and Lenny, and go change in the locker room. They need time alone. That’s what I tell myself. I’m giving them time to process.
It’s also why I quickly change out of my gear and run out before anyone else.
I’m just giving them their family time.
I ran home and straight to my car heading to the driving range to clear my head.
My knee has been aching since Saturday night. It’s just a twinge, probably from the rain.
It’s just in my head.
Greg:Dude, where’d you go? We’re all going to the Ale House to celebrate Alex becoming part of our team.
Greg:We just got here. Are you going to come?
Greg:You should be here. After everything you just did for him. I don’t know what’s going on, Lenny asked if you’re coming. Did you talk to her?
Greg:Just let me know you’re ok.
I drive out a few balls before answering.
Greg’s like my brother, we always answer each other, no matter what. I don’t want him to worry.
Me:I’m fine. I just needed to clear my head and get ready for tomorrow. I’ll see you back at the house.
The driving range doesn’t help. My head’s a mess and half the time I’m thinking of when I took Lenny here.
The ache in my knee feels worse.
