“You could still be a danger, Reed Darling.” “I promise I’m not a danger to you.”
“Only when my damsel-in-distress radar goes off.” “Oh, and I suppose that makes you Prince Charming?” “Sorry, princess, but I’m definitely no prince.”
“You know, if I was your boyfriend, I’d answer your calls and I’d drive you to parties.”
“But you have a good night, Sunshine. I hope I proved to you not all hockey players are pigs.”
Maybe she thought I hadn’t heard her at the ice rink. Or that I didn’t recognize her. Impossible. Violet wasn’t the kind of girl you forgot.
I shrugged. If it meant I got to see Violet again, I didn’t really care.
“Thanks,” was all I could bring myself to say in response, and even that came out in a hushed whisper. “Just kiss her already,” Parker yelled from the car.
I’d seen the Sunshine Prep uniform plenty of times before, and she was the first person who managed to look good despite it. But then again, she probably looked good in anything.
She didn’t hesitate to answer. “Most definitely. Lifelong boycott.” It was hard not to flinch, and I seriously began to wonder whether my dreams of playing in the NHL were worth it.
She might have sworn off hockey players, but that didn’t seem to matter to me as I watched her through the fire. I only needed her to like one hockey player: me.
“Well, you don’t scare me, Reed Darling.” “Good,” he said. “You’re the last person I’d ever want to scare.”
“Reed doesn’t seem nearly so scary when he’s smiling,” she commented. “And he smiles a lot when you’re around . . .”
She was beautiful tonight. She was beautiful every time I saw her.
It was impossible to resist him, and I reached out and took his hands once more. “Don’t let me fall,” I said. “Never,” he replied.
“You can call me whatever you want, Sunshine. As long as you call me yours.”
