You’re mine, Sunshine,” I murmured, my voice low and full of heat, caging her against the wall with my hands. Loving the way her breath hitched, lips parting as I dipped my head to brush my mouth against hers. “Stanley Cup or not, you’re my victory.”

Won the Stanley cup and have his girl 🎊🎊🎊🎊

I found the other piece of my heart in you, Sunshine. I want it all, the fairytale happily ever after.

Stahppp

“The police report I read said Vincent’s car appeared to have been hit with a long wooden implement. And wouldn’t you know, Gracie, I’m missing a hockey stick from the bed of my truck.”
She broke out into a coughing fit. “Damn. That’s crazy. You really should put those somewhere more secure,” she said, looking him dead in the eye with a blank face”

“I hate what he did to you. To us. But I’m done letting him control my life, Sunshine. Done.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s over. I’m done living for his approval. I’m living for me now. For us.”
“But what about your team? What⁠—”

Heehee

Gracie saving the day and telling Monroe everything

“Monroe, wha—” the rant trailed off.
It wasn’t a tall, pissed-off-but-hot man glaring down at me, but instead an adorable girl with a pink princess dress, honeyed curls, and a slightly crooked tiara looking up at me.
“Oh, hello,” I said, peering past her, searching for a clue on if I’d gotten the right house.”

Goldie and Gracie meeting for the first time aww

“Is he worth his friends’ careers too?”
“What?”
“You heard me.” His tone was venomous now. “If you don’t sign this and leave quietly, I’ll go through with the trades I’ve already arranged for Jimenez and Monroe. They’ll be gone by the end of the week. Dalton will lose the teammates who’ve stood by him for years, and it’ll all be because of you.”

Vincent fuck youuu
