Chapter 22
TWENTY-TWO
AG
What the hell were you and your teammates doing between periods during the game last night?
All of you were crawling on the ice, and I’m so confused.
GE
You saw that?!
Oh my god. I can’t wait to tell Liam. He lost his wedding ring that he keeps tied to his skate, and we had to help find it.
AG
Hang on. Wedding ring? I didn’t know he was married!
GE
lol, neither did I! Found out last night.
Remember when Mav and Emmy got married in Vegas? I guess he and Piper got married too! Too much alcohol fueled the decision, but sounds like they’re in loveeeee.
He’s smiling nonstop these days. That’s rare for him. Must be serious!
AG
Wow. Okay. Plot twist! What’s in the water in DC? All of you are getting married back-to-back-to-back.
GE
My money is on Hudson next. Dude is the biggest romantic I’ve ever met.
GE
See you next week!
I’m going back to that Italian place where we first met. They have the best ranch for dipping my spaghetti in.
AG
I’m still struggling to comprehend why you’d ruin spaghetti with ranch dressing, but if it makes you happy, good for you.
Are any of your teammates joining you?
GE
Nah. This West Coast swing has been long, and we’re all feeling the effects of being on the road for eight days.
AG
I’m doing a yoga class near the restaurant that night. If you want company, I’ll be right there.
GE
Dude. I’d love some company. That would be great.
AG
Cool. See you then.
