No. Not you.
You’re better than that. Stronger.
Then again, this guy can’t get hard near you and you take that personally.
I should be the one asking you questions, Anna.
My hockey career doesn’t mean a thing compared to the way you see yourself in the mirror.
Anna put away her notebook and stood up, grabbing her bag.
Now she was calling my bluff.
Wanting to see what I would do next.
Behind me I heard the vacuuming again.
That’s when I finally snapped.
I turnedand opened the hotel room door.
A young guy looked at me.
Earbuds in his ears.
A young, clean-cut face.
Bright eyes.
Total fear.
I looked at the vacuum, then at the guy.
He fumbled for his phone to pause his music.
“I’m sorry, is this bothering you?”
I reached for the vacuum and picked it up just as Anna stepped out into the hallway.
“Joe,” she said.
“This is what I think of this vacuum!” I cried out.
I swung the vacuum through the air by the handle and smashed it to the floor.
The cord popped out of the socket on the wall.
The young man jumped back.
I slammed the vacuum on the floor again.
Then I stomped on it.
Joe, you’re fighting a vacuum cleaner?
“Joe!” Anna’s voice yelled. “Stop this right now!”
She grabbed my left arm.
