Emmy
Oh, yeah. It’s ruthless. I’d say the franchise players are safe, but I’ve seen what happens in the NBA. These GMs don’t give a shit about loyalty. They’ll get rid of anyone and everyone if they think it’ll help them win.
Lexi
It’s a cutthroat sport. I love it!
Me
Hey, hockey guy.
Blond Bombshell
What’s up, KG? I’m heading back from the arena in a few. Need anything from the store?
Me
I did a grocery run this morning, but thanks for asking!
Could you watch Lucy tonight? I’m going to go over to Emmy’s for girls’ night.
The calendar said you’re free, but if not, I can bring her with me!
Blond Bombshell
I’d love to hang out with her. We’ll have some pizza and ice cream. Top tier nutrition.
Me
So much for that chicken on the menu.
Just kidding. That sounds like a fun night to me!
Blond Bombshell
Unrelated, but I know we haven’t really had a chance to see each other since the other night. I’m leaving tomorrow morning on a three-game road trip that’s going to take me away for a week, but I want you to know I’m thinking about you.
Me
Is there something in particular you’re thinking about?
Blond Bombshell
The way your eyes wrinkle when you smile. How your laugh sounds when you’re tired. The noises you make when you come.
Me
Sounds like you’re thinking about me a lot, hockey guy.
Blond Bombshell
Here and there.
Me
I’m thinking about you too. I’m sorry we won’t get tonight together, but I’m excited for you to get home from your trip.
