It was… weird as fuck. But yeah. They’re still married. Brevan comes to visit from time to time. He went pro for a year or two. It was short, but it was his own choice. He wanted to focus on his marriage. Cute and disturbing.
A grin spreads over my face, and I roll to my side, settling into the pillow.

Also, your bestie there dated a student last year. He’s still on his team too.
I’m not entirely sure what he’s talking about. The only other coach I talk to regularly is Alka, but he hasn’t mentioned having a lover on his team. Although, I guess, why would he?
Hansley Bardot
So not a rule. Got it. Who are you bidding on?
Lemon Frost
I’m not! These kids are half my age, Hansley!
My heart jumps. That’s the first time he’s said my name. It’s always Bardot. Keeping distance between us. Keeping it impersonal. This might just be a chat, but I think he might have just closed the gap a little. I’m growing on him.
Hansley Bardot
I don’t think that’s an issue for some. Hence the reason we had to lift the age restrictions and allow them to mark their own preferences and comfort level.
Lemon Frost
It’s weird. I literally call them my kids. MY. KIDS. I sure as fuck can’t date one of them. Not even for a good cause.
Hansley Bardot
So what I’m getting from this is that one of your players wants to date you.
Lemon Frost
I’m touched that you think this is amusing but it’s really not. Also, I’m not sure he wants a date. He’s been hinting for quite a while now and that hint just became a statement.
I laugh and close my eyes. He’s not yelling at me. Besides the morning I caught him tripped up because he overslept, this is the only time he’s not been yelling at me.
Although, if I’m being honest, I think he’s yelling on principle now. There’s no heat or heart behind it anymore.
Hansley Bardot
Which one? Maybe I’ll fight you on the bid.
Lemon Frost
That’s not funny. And would you really know who it is if I told you a name? You seem to have no interest in football.
Hansley Bardot
That’s because you accused me of stealing your plays the one time I watched. So no, I likely wouldn’t know who you’re talking about.
Lemon Frost
I better not see any of my plays on your ice.
