All I want to do now is get downstairs so that mine is the first face Jake sees when he exits the locker room. I’m officially his groupie.But that’s okay, because he’s my groupie. We root for each other . We're good for each other. And I can’t wait to find out what the future holds.

HERCULES !! HERCULESSSSS

“The last tie I went to the Frozen Four, it was to cheer for my dad’s all-star crew: Garrett Graham, Summer’s brother Dean, and the two JohnsLogan and Tucker. And they won the whole damn thing.

“Every word is the truth,” Jake says simply. “I fucked up. I love you. And I want you back.”
We can make it work. If we truly want to be in a relationship, then we’ll make that relationship work. The question is, do you want it?” He hesitates again. “Do you want me?”

I want you. Of course I want you.” I exhale in a fast burst. “I love you, Jake.”

What do you want from me?”
“You,”
“Me, what?”
“That’s what I want. I want you,”

“If you want me to beg, I’ll beg. If you want me to jump through hoops, bring them on. I’ll spend every waking hour until I have to report to training camp proving to you how much you mean to me.”

ACADEMY AWARD WINNINGGGG

“We don’t need social media. I have her number memorized.”
“Really? You memorized her number?”
I nod.

Hazel goes quiet.
“What?” I say
“It’s just…” She looks oddly impressed. “You really are in love, huh?”
“Yeah. I am.”
💗

“I’ve always had a thing for you,” Hazel confesses.
“It’s stupid, I know. But it’s hard not to develop feelings for the Jake Connelly, you know?” A sad half-smile lifts one corner of her mouth. “

Oh hazel 😭😭🫠🫠

“I know you guys don’t care about hockey much, but I appreciate that you came today.”
“We might not be hockey fanatics, but we’re Jake fanatics,” Mom declares

They came to surprise him

“I don’t expect next season to be a breeze. I’ll be traveling a lot, I’ll be exhausted from working my butt off, and I won’t get to see Brenna half as much as I’d like to. But it’s only one year. We can survive that. Then she’ll graduate, maybe consider moving to Edmonton.

Plan your weddinggg

“And he’s right to worry. My concentration is shot. Breaking up with Brenna wrecked me.
I made a mistake.
I made a mistake, and I knew it the moment she left my apartment. Ending it was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. I acted out of fear, not logic.
