Chapter 7

Elena’s POV

“Oh my gosh, you should have seen the way you two walked down the aisle. You were so stiff! I still can’t believe you hit him.”

“He deserved it! You could have warned me about him, you know,” I gripe to Alisha as we slide up to one of the many bars this place has.

“Oh, come on. He’s not that bad,” she says. “In fact, he’s actually really nice. Probably one of the nicer guys on the team, if I’m being honest. He’s always game for charity stuff, and he’s so good with kids.”

“You sound like you have a crush on him.”

“Ha. Hardly. I mean, is the man insanely hot? Yes. Obviously. Duh. But you don’t want to mess around with hockey players.” She says it like she’s speaking from experience, and I have a feeling she is.

Alisha moved out here a couple of years ago after she discovered her boyfriend was living a double life with her and the neighbor next door. Much like me, she had to bail. Though I missed her, I couldn’t blame her for doing it. Es
