I backed up from Hein and looked at the crowd.
My right hand was covered in blood and shook.
I waved my hands and that got the crowd going even crazier.
My face throbbed with pain.
Nothing some ice couldn’t fix.
I was escorted right off the ice to serve my major penalty in the locker room.
As I walked down the tunnel, I looked up and saw Hazel staring down at me.
The look on her face was priceless.
She looked terrified… yet a little turned on.
I threw a half smirk at her.
I almost blew her a kiss.
Totally uncharacteristic of me.
But the truth was I didn’t know how to act when I was near Hazel.
After all, she was pregnant with my baby.
The game endedwith us losing three-two.
Henry had the two goals and almost had a chance at a game-tying hat trick.
A hard-fought game but still anotherLfor our record.
I fought Collins and took him down in five seconds.
He really didn’t want to fight me but I kept hitting him and pushing at him until he finally snapped.
Hein never returned to the game.
He ended up needing some stitches above his left eye and it swelled up so much he couldn’t see.
As for me, I was fine.
Just bloody and sweaty.
Which was what Hazel got to experience as she waited for me outside the locker room.
The team piled into the locker room and I walked toward her.
I towered over her even more than usual because of my ice skates.
She stared up at me.Scared.
“First hockey game, love?” I asked.
“Not my first, but my first like this,” she said.
“What does that mean?”
