I’m finally at a place where I feel at peace that I’m heading in the right direction. The best and most unexpected part is Nils. So much for a fling, huh? I knew there was potential; I felt it from the start. And now here I am—in love with the man I want to spend the rest of my life with and living with him.
I’ve also applied to a few law schools in the area. I have no doubt I’ll get in to all of them and have my choice.
When that time comes, though, I’ll make the decision with Nils.
That’s how we roll.
We help and support each other and celebrate our “wins” together.
That’s why I just started cheering like a maniac. It’s five minutes into the first period, and Nils just scored.
He took a beautiful shot from the blue line, one that was only meant to get the puck to the net so a teammate could hopefully shoot it in.
But the little bugger zoomed past everyone, including the opposing goalie.
Yay!
I high-five Willow, and Nils celebrates with his teammates.
I then see him scanning our section, looking for me.
I give him a little wave, and he smiles.
Even from a distance, I see his gaze soften.
I blow him a kiss, and he mouths, “I love you.”
Time stops, and for that beat, it’s just Nils and me in the whole arena, one man and one woman, so in love it’s not even funny.
My heart swells with emotion, and that’s when I know with every fiber of my being that we’re in this for the long haul, as in forever.
I see marriage.
I see children.
I see us growing old together.
Nils is my present and my future.
He is my life.
Nils
Six months later…
The seasons pass, and I fall more in love with Ellie Troy every fucking day. It’s funny, as there was a time when I thought being in a committed relationship would affect my play in an adverse manner.
The opposite has proven true.
Shows how much I knew, huh?
That’s why I don’t make any big decisions without asking Ellie for her input.
Still, there’s one thing I have to work out on my own—when to ask her to marry me.
I want to do it soon, as I know she’s open to it. We’ve had the whole “we definitely want to get married” discussion.
Hell, we’ve even looked at rings.
