Chapter 9

CONNOR & MADARS

Connor

Great game today!

Madars

Were you there? I didn’t see you! (sad emoji)

No (sad emoji) but I saw the score and the recap.

I don’t think Team USA knew what hit them.

Good! (grinning devil emoji)

They thought we’d be easy to beat. They thought wrong.

lol If you guys hadn’t humbled them, Team Sweden would tomorrow.

Probably. Sweden is a tough team.

Do you play them in this series?

If we both make it to the semifinal, yes.

I’m rooting for Team Latvia to make it!

Uh-huh, and if we’re up against Team Canada in the final?

That’s what I thought.

Rude

Madars

I thought there was no fighting in the women’s division.

Connor

They’re not allowed to, but that doesn’t stop them.

They should allow it. Those players are spicy!

Right? Keeps the games interesting.

And it’s not allowed in your division either, it’s just not an automatic ejection.

It’s not illegal, it’s frowned upon

It’s illegal.

It’s just a penalty.

Because it’s against the rules.

(angel emoji)

(facepalm emoji)

lol don’t act like you don’t enjoy it when players fight.

Oh I do. But I still put them in the box.

Connor

I heard someone got hurt in today’s game. Are you okay?

Madars

I’m good. Barons broke his jaw. (grimace emoji)

Shit, that sucks.

Glad you’re okay though.

Me too. Not sure what we’re going to do without him.

I’ve seen your shot. You guys will be fine.

I hope so.

Connor

Told you the team would be fine even without Barons! Congrats on the 2-point game.

Madars

Thanks! Would’ve been a hatty if that second one hadn’t been called back.

Fucking refs.

lol yeah they’re such dicks

They really are. All of them.

Yep. Every last—hey wait a minute

LMAO

yeah yeah

Smartass

(angel emoji)

Riiight. Because you’re so innocent.

You know exactly how innocent I am (grinning devil emoji)

I know exactly how not-innocent you can be (wink emoji)

God I wish we could do that tonight

Me too.

Can’t wait until the Games are over. Then your ass is mine

Fuck

Promise?

Promise.

Dammit, now I’m horny

Me too. And I have to be at the rink in 15 (crying emoji)

Well, you know what I’ll be doing while you’re there

There goes my concentration.
