“I’m here,” he said, catching me off guard.
“Well, I’m Reed Darling. Now the stranger has a name.” “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.”
He might not be a prince, but apparently, he could be a little charming when he wanted to.
“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.
she looked like she could have stepped right out of a fairy tale—well,
saw her in the stands, and she’d stopped me in my tracks.
Reed didn’t seem too bothered by my silence as he slowly approached and carefully placed his jacket over my shoulders.
Reed was right; I deserved better.
The truth was, right now, I just wanted to be wherever she was.
I seriously began to wonder whether my dreams of playing in the NHL were worth it.
I only needed her to like one hockey player: me.
If this was what it felt like to kiss a devil, then send me straight to hell.
instead of returning my ex’s icy stare, Reed was ignoring Jeremy and looking at me with concern.
“You don’t do girlfriends.” Jeremy scoffed. “I do now,” Reed replied.

“That we’re not really dating, and it was all a lie.” “Ah.” That terrible truth.
I wasn’t sorry she’d kissed me. That it felt one hundred percent real to me. With every word, this girl was shattering my heart
And I was left trying to ignore how much I’d enjoyed it when she called herself my girlfriend.
I promise I won’t stomp on your heart if you don’t stomp on mine.”
Matt was right. I was a goner—and I had been ever since I’d seen her swing her foot at her car.
“Well, you don’t scare me, Reed Darling.” “Good,” he said. “You’re the last person I’d ever want to scare.”
Reed is totally hot for you.” “He’s not even lukewarm for me.” “He’s a boiling kettle about to start whistling.”

Reed had shared a two-word caption: “My girl.”

“Despite what everyone says, I’m not some player. There’s only one girl I care about, and she’s standing right in front of me
“You can call me whatever you want, Sunshine. As long as you call me yours.”
“You look ravishing tonight, Vi,” I overheard him say. “Has dipshit told you that?”
