  52. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

He nods. “Tomorrow then?”

“Yeah, I’ll be there tomorrow.”

Nick rounds the corner and we all stop talking to give him our attention.

“Ready?” Dakota asks him with a big smile.

“Later, Genevieve.” Heath winks and then he and Adam say their goodbyes to Nick.

I watch him leave and then blow out a long breath. Holy gummy bears.

GINNY

OCTOBER

We’re decked out in Valley blue and yellow for the first home game of the season. Dakota, Reagan, and I sit in my parents’ season ticket seats.

“I feel bad for not inviting Taryn,” I admit as the team takes the ice.

Dakota waves me off. “She’s fine. She said she was going to sit with her sorority sisters and meet up with us after.”

“I think I’m going to have to get to know her.”

“Why do you sound so defeated? She’s nice,” Reagan says, eyes forward watching the guys.

“Every time I get attached to one of Adam’s girlfriends, they break up and it’s like I lose them, too. I always wanted a sister.”

Dakota and Reagan put their arms around my shoulders. “Well, now you have us and neither of us plans on banging your brother. Right, Reagan?”

Reagan’s jaw drops. “Of course not. He’s with Taryn.”

When the game starts we cheer like crazy. It’s nothing like being at a game with my parents and I feel so much more invested being a Valley student now.

And my brother is good. Really good. I spot Taryn jumping up and down in the front row of the student section as he scores a goal. Ugh. I really am going to have to make an effort with her. She seems to really like Adam and not be one of the crazy ones, but first I need to talk to my brother and make sure he isn’t already thinking about breaking up with her.

There’s a line switch and Heath and two other guys come off the ice. They sit not far from us. Jordan, a freshman I think, is drinking out of a water bottle. Heath shakes his head when someone tries to hand him his own water. Stick in hand, he’s practically bouncing with untapped energy to get back out there.

He turns his head to follow the action on the ice, giving me a view of his strong profile. Dark hair peeks out around his helmet. His nose is straight, jaw sharp, nice lips that are soft despite all the ways the rest of him is hard.

I press two fingers against my lips remembering how it felt to be kissed by Heath. I’ve done my best to avoid going down this particular memory lane because I don’t want to ruin the friendship we have, but I don’t think I’ll ever forget that kiss.
