It’s Darcy. She’s my friend, too. Cheering her up, distracting her, is my job.
Rory could give me a ring pop and I’d probably love it.”
He’s my best friend, and I’d never say this out loud, but Kit’s so fucking dumb for all the chances he missed with Darcy. Never taking her out on a real date? Unbelievable.
Kit had her for eight years, and he didn’t take her out once? Fuck him for making her feel like that. Fuck him for not treating her well enough.
She’s a knockout. She’s smart and funny and beautiful and kind, and she wants to go out on Valentine’s Day.
Hockey players are supposed to be greasy, sweaty, and toothless, but Hayden Owens is that old Hollywood, sparkling, breathtaking kind of handsome. In any era, his broad smile, strong jaw, and deadly blue eyes would have people starstruck.
I’ll never get used to how beautiful he is.
There’s a fizzy feeling behind my ribcage, moving up into my sternum, and my breath catches. Oh. Oh, no. I’m developing a crush on Hayden.
Hayden smells like a fresh, clean forest. I take a deep inhale and my scalp tingles. His scent does something to my brain, making my thoughts sharpen and focus on him and him alone.
Because I want her. I want her so fucking badly. Being so close to her is agony,
Buying her things could become an addiction if I let it.
Miller looks over the seats. “Hey, Streicher, do you want to cuddle later? As friends?”
I always say Kit’s my best friend, but he’s not. It’s Darcy.
He kisses like he’s desperate for me, like he’s been waiting for this for years,
Whatever I want, as long as it works for him and his schedule and his career. Whatever I want, as long as I’m the person he wants me to be.
Hayden’s sent me a bouquet every day since he left for away games.
I love her, I realize. I’ve loved her for years.
“I’ve wanted this for years, Darcy, and somehow it’s better than I thought it could be.”
soaring from the knowledge that Hayden and I connected like this was inevitable. I was always going to figure it out and see him; it was just a matter of when.
It feels like magic, sitting here with him under the cherry blossoms and gentle sunlight. Like everything’s falling into place and the timing all aligns.
“You deserve the best, and buying you presents is a kink I didn’t know I had.”
I’m going to marry this girl. The thought struck me eight years ago,
I love her. I love her so much my heart might give out.
Spoiling me rotten seems to make Hayden Owens very, very happy, actually, and watching him get what he wants makes me happy, so everyone wins.
there’s a new cocktail. The Wingman—strong, sweet, and cheeky. The drink you didn’t know you needed!
“I guess I didn’t make a very good player, did I?” He laughs. “No, you didn’t, and thank fuck for that.”
I can’t wait to marry my best friend, Hayden Owens.” Emotion flickers in his eyes. “I can’t wait to marry my best friend, Darcy Andersen.”
