Stick With Me (Saints Hockey #1)

FOUR

When the plane finally touches down in Florida, I should feel pumped for All-Star Weekend—me and the greats of hockey for a weekend of friendly competition. Ha, who am I kidding? We’re all too competitive for friendly competition. We want the win and the bragging rights that go with it. But instead, my stomach is clenched with nerves at the thought of seeing Hannah.

I try to remember the last time I saw her without Jace hovering like a fly. It’s been over a year, maybe two? Probably since that guys’ trip Jace took over break, when Hannah visited me in Chicago. Every time I’ve seen her since, she’s been on his arm.

Even at her birthday party in September, which I crashed thanks to a tip-off from Natalie—because, of course, Jace didn’t invite me to the surprise party he “planned”—I barely got to say two words to her. Turns out, the whole thing was more about the cameras capturing his life for some docuseries than actually celebrating Hannah.
