They don’t stop, but I tune them out because there on my screen is Easton Hayes in my team’s uniform, skating onto the ice. And oh my, does he look good.
“Oh, honey, I hope you climb that man like the tree he is, once he gets home. Look at him.” I blush at Everly’s words because yes, I’d very much like to climb that tree.
“Are you climbing trees now, trouble?”
I reach across Everly with a pillow and smack Maddox in the face. His beer spills down his shirt, butoh well. “It’s none of your business whether I’m climbing trees, madman.”
He snatches the pillow out of my hand and uses it to wipe his shirt. “You’re right. I don’t wanna know. But make sure Hayes knows if he hurts you, I’ll kill him.” All the joking is gone from Maddox’s voice, and I’m pretty sure he’s completely serious.
“Aww,” Everly singsongs. “You do love us.”
He smacks her with the pillow. “Nope. Not you. Just her.”

You won!
Easton
Were you watching me, princess?
Lindy
I do own the team, hockey boy. I was watching everyone.
Easton
Admit it. Not like you were watching me.
Lindy
Maybe.
Easton
We’re pulling up to the hotel now. I’ll be in my room in a few minutes. Are you still in my jersey?
Lindy
Maybe.
Easton
Leave it on.
Lindy
Aren’t you sharing a room?
Easton
Boone’s going to the bar. He already asked me if I wanted to go.
Lindy
You should go and make friends.
