1. Playlists are over done and overrated. 2. I can’t take you seriously if you’re picking multiple Gracie Abram’s songs for a hockey book.

If you’re someone who needs visuals of the guys you’re reading about, you can check out our Pinterest board here:

Ironic because the Pinterest board barely has any pictures of “the guys you’re reading about” and is mostly hockey media equipment.

“I am big Russian spy. When I’m not on ice, I use my skates as weapon.” “Checks out.”

“He was very good kisser.” “You wanna do it again?” “Repeatedly.”

“What should I do?” “Taunt him until he shoves you up against a wall and takes you there and then?” I’m concerned by how easily that came to him. “That is not a thing that would ever work.” “Ah, yeah, never,” Anton mutters somewhere in the background.

Their voices drop to murmur about something. I hope she is telling him about the time I was five and ran down the street naked. Or when I was sick and sneezed so hard I covered my desk in snot. Or that time she chased me because I found her diary, and I fell over and broke my arm. It is a sibling’s job to embarrass each other to their partners, so she sure as hell better be doing it for me.

“Who do I need to kill? I want names.” Mischka tuts. “Mommy asked the same thing.” “Good. I will get the list from her later.”
