I know some of the players from the pro team, Miami Spirit, will also be there. I’m pretty good chums with their defenseman, Alton Hart, because we knew each other when I lived in Florida as a kid. Tyler from the Hawks has also said he will be there and is flying out on the morning of the game.

“Sounds wonderful, honey. As long as you’re coming back this way before you head out to Seattle again, two days isn’t anywhere near long enough to see my baby.”

I smile at her as I watch her make the coffee. She gets out the good stuff and knows exactly the way I like it. “I’m coming back, don’t worry.”

“Does this ‘friend’ happen to be a girl?”

I glance up at my mom as I pull out a chair at the counter. I forget how damned perceptive she is. She’s good at reading people, especially me.

“Maybe,” I say.

When she smiles, her eyes light up every time.

“There’s a funny story that goes with that,” I add.

She turns to look at me.

“You remember Emmerson, Taylor’s girlfriend?”

“Yeah, I remember. You said they just got back together again after six years?”

“Yep, that’s the one. Well, I met her best friend, Maddison, in Seattle. She lives in Miami. She was on vacation with Em.”

“And you hit it off?” She smiles.

“Yeah, I’m kinda taken with her.”

“That’s great news, honey. I’m sure she’s a great girl if she’s friends with Emmerson.”

She’s everything from what I can know this far.

I don’t know how I’m going to hold out much longer from seeing her. I guess I have to catch up with my family first. That’s only fair. Though, I can’t stop thinking about her and wondering what she’s up to right now. I know I can’t exactly have another sexcapade with her under my mom’s roof. That would be weird. But I am looking forward to seeing her again in person and seeing what happens from there.

Although she’s technically working on the first day I’m there, I plan on meeting her at the auction to see her in action. The idea has my heart racing and my dick hard. I love a woman who goes after what she wents. I plan on taking her out for dinner after that, if we even make it to the restaurant…

I know she’s technically working on the first day I’m there, but I plan on meeting her at the auction once I get the address and take her out for a meal afterward.

I have coffee with mom before I take my suitcase to the spare room. I pack more shit than most women I know. Even though I have clothes here from my last stay, it doesn’t stop me from packing just about everything I own ‘just in case.’

We order dinner and sit around the table with mom, Kenny, and Kate while we wait for it to be delivered.

I’m so damned happy to see my sister; it’s been months with the grueling schedule we had leading into the cup.

“You look fantastic,” I tell my sister.

She always does.

Being in a wheelchair has never, ever stopped her. I’m so proud of her.

She had so much hardship growing up and never being able to walk. It wasn’t easy for her as a kid. I don’t know how my mom did it either. She’s been Kate’s rock since the minute she was born. It makes me sad our father isn’t a part of it. Other than the unsigned birthday card she gets every year.He’s such an asshole.

“And so do you!” she gushes. She’s a lot like me, with the same dark eyes and hair color. Hers is way longer than mine, though we both have our mom’s bronze skin. “How do you feel now with the Hawks being the official Stanley Cup winners?”

I grin. “Fantastic. It was the best moment in my career so far.”

“You were amazing,” Kenny says. “We were all on the edge of our seats.”

He’s a pretty tall, lanky guy. He looks kinda nerdy with short ginger hair and glasses.
