Cash sighed and said, “Then, yes. I still love her.”
Oh.
My.
Gosh.
My heart exploded.
And butterflies started fluttering around in my belly.
Niki said, “Oh, boy.”
Gianna gasped, “What in the world?”
Trey’s voice floated up and out of the screen. “I’m sorry, man.”
Then we heard Beau say, “Me too, Cash.”
I closed my eyes, feeling the burn behind them was too much. It matched the burn I felt behind my heart.
Marco and Christina popped back up on the screen. I saw their lips moving.
But I couldn’t understand what the heck they were saying.
Cash just admitted to his teammates—and the whole world—that he still loved me.
Even after everything I’d done to him.
I didn’t deserve his love. That I knew for sure.
It was at that point I realized how freaking selfish I was because—even though I couldn’t be with Cash—could never be with Cash—knowing that he loved me made my heart start tap dancing with joy.
And that was all kinds of messed up.

Cash
Fuck.
I shifted my backpack over my other shoulder and hoped the figure standing beside my truck was simply a mirage.
Because she was absolutely the last person on the face of this earth that I wanted to speak with.
Ever again.
As I stepped closer, I shook my head. “If you need a ride home,” I jerked my thumb behind me, “ask someone else.” I nodded my head back toward the rink. “I don’t have room for you.”
Jillian bit her lip in that cute little way she had about her when she was unsure about something.
“Cash, I think,” she started to say, but I didn’t let her finish.
I pulled my keys out of my pocket and aimed them at my truck. “I don’t give a shit what you think, Jillian. Go grab someone else in the rink. Or text Trey. I’m sure he’ll help you out if your car’s fucked up or if you need a ride.” I pressed the button to unlock the doors.
Her shoulders sank as she gazed down to the ground and back up to me.
And fuck if I didn’t feel like a complete dick for talking to her like this. But she embarrassed me in front of the entire goddamn world.
