“No.” My throat bobs as I swallow. “I’m here because...because I want to see you. Because I need to be near you. Because I missed you while I was gone, and all I could think about when I wasn’t playing hockey was you.” My eyes bounce between hers. “We only have sex if you’re in the mood to have sex. And if you’re not, that doesn’t mean I don’t want to spend time with you.”
