“Look at me. You’re one of the best players I’ve ever seen. You’re beyond talented. Every time I see you on the ice, my chest swells with pride. So don’t think for one second that I don’t want to wear your jersey because you’re not good enough. Honestly, I don’t wear it because I like pissing you off.”

Crying

“You’ve always enjoyed fucking with me.” “And you like fucking with me. It’s our thing.”

“Get comfortable, and I’m going to get you some water.”

“What are you doing?” His arms wrap around me, pulling my back flush against his body. “I’m going to lie here with you, if that’s okay.”

Oh my heart

“She’ll be okay, baby. She just needs to sleep it off. You did good taking care of her.” “I fucking poisoned her.” “It was an accident. She knows that.” I stroke his soft hair. “I know how scary it is seeing her like that.” He frowns. “So much for date night.” “Trust me, the way you helped her tonight means more to her than anything else.” I kiss his lips again. “I’m going to take a quick shower, and then I’ll meet you in her bed.” He gestures to the kitchen. “I should clean up our food in there.” “Leave it for tomorrow. It’s been a long night.”
