- About the Author
“No way! I’ve got this.” Jack stands up ready to go, fastening his helmet and sliding on his gloves before placing a kiss on Charlotte’s head; he says it gives him luck. Hockey players and their superstitions.
Liam leads me over to where Anders, Edge and Lyndsey said they would wait for us. The rest of the team wanted to come, hell even Felix wanted to be here to support his biggest fan, but we thought it would be best to do it in shifts.
A few different people will come each game so we don’t overwhelm the other kids. As we approach the seats, we see Lyndsey and Anders huddled together looking very serious. I pull Liam back so we don’t interrupt them, and definitely not to eavesdrop – at least that’s what I convince myself.
“I am not talking about this here.” Lyndsey looks angrier than I have ever seen her, not even mean customers get her like this.
“Well darlin’, we’re gonna have to talk about it soon.” His hand is holding her elbow but she pulls it free.
“Don’t darlin’ me! No one can know.” She is shaking her head and he sighs, almost pleading.
“Lyndsey, you’re my wife, people are going to find out.”
I’m sorry, I think I must have misheard him.
“What!” Liam yells, alerting them to our presence.
“Nice going, Cowboy.” Lyndsey huffs before walking away from us all, avoiding eye contact.
“Lyndsey, wait…” Anders yells after her. I want to follow her, but if Jack looks up and sees I’m not there he would be so disappointed, instead I give Anders my best mother stare before he nods getting ready to follow after her.
“I’m sorry, I think we might miss the game. I’ll call you later,” he tells us, jogging after Lyndsey. His wife apparently.
Silently we walk over to the stands where Edge is looking incredibly uncomfortable alone surrounded by a bunch of hockey mums. When he sees us he perks up more than I have ever seen him.
“Edge, you owe me fifty bucks!” Liam yells.
“They slept together?” Edge asks, shocked.
“More than that,” Liam sounds awestruck. “They’re married!” Liam tells him sliding into the chair next to him. I would say I’m shocked they bet money on Anders and Lyndsey, but honestly we all knew it would happen eventually.
I think a part of this might be our fault. We just had to have a joint bachelor-bachelorette event in Vegas. We should have guessed someone would end up married. I would think it would be us, not the team captain, but Vegas will be Vegas, I guess.
