Catch and Cradle

by Katia Rose

Apparently there was some drama in the past, and now that we’re the first maritime university to play for the Eastern Canada Lacrosse League, keeping our love lives out of the locker room is essential. That’s still never stopped me from imagining pushing Becca up against a wall in said locker room.

She’s a whole universe slowly unfolding itself in front of me, and there’s something humbling and precious about that.

She’s directly across from me, and we keep locking eyes, smiling and looking away, then locking eyes again. It’s very gay.

still don’t know exactly how this will work, but I’m starting to see a path, and it leads straight to her.

I will admit that accidentally showing up to practice in a shirt with Becca’s name on the back instead of mine was asking for it.

Maybe sometimes you just need to take the damn shot and stop worrying about what everyone else will say.
