My fingers fly on the screen as I do a search.

I read my fave gossip site first.

Just Spotted never disappoints, but I’m stunned at the way they described me. Then, it hits me.

Shit. I’m on Just Spotted’s radar.

Thank God the association between me and my family is a hard one to make. Still, I pray to God they don’t dig deeper.

I do a few more searches.

I burst out laughing at the first result.

‘WAS THAT A SMILE OR WAS KAZ LINDSTRÖM PASSING GAS ON ACTIVE KIDS’ RED CARPET?’

“What’s so funny?”

I angle my phone.

He makes a face.

I giggle.

I scroll down some more.

‘KAZ LINDSTRÖM STEPS OUT IN STYLE WITH STUNNING, MYSTERY BLONDE AT LAST NIGHT’S ACTIVE KIDS GALA’

Oh my God, the press called me stunning?

I do a little happy dance.

“What?” Kaz frowns.

I show him the headline.

His frown dissipates. “For once, the press got it right. You were stunning last night.”

Be still my beating heart. This man.

I return my attention to my phone.

‘KAZ LINDSTRÖM SPOILS NEW GIRLFRIEND WITH IMPRESSIVE COLLECTION OF DESIGNER BLING’

The man totally spoiled me.

‘KAZ LINDSTRÖM AND MYSTERY BLONDE—STAND OUT COUPLE AT LAST NIGHT’S ACTIVE KIDS GALA’

I type my ex’s name in the search bar.

‘CHETT FROSTBURG ESCORTED OFF THE PREMISES AFTER NHL PLAYER DISPLAYS AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR AT CHARITY GALA’

‘CHETT FROSTBURG: TALENTED NHL PLAYER. TOO BAD HIS ATTITUDE SUCKS’

I scroll down a little more, and cringe.

‘IS KAZ LINDSTRÖM DATING HIS EX-STEPSON’S EX-GIRLFRIEND?’

Okay, that last one makes me come across like a puck bunny.
