Crosby is driving me to practice.
Right.
I’ve got to go. But,come over tonight?
Do better.
For example…
That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve ever laid eyes on.
Wanna shiver me timbers?
Prepare to be boarded.
Seriously? The kids are starting to file into the classroom.
I can wait.
Sword fight. Me cabin. Sundown.
Aye Aye!
Chapter twenty-eight

So, you’re a hockey guy
"Hockeyisn’treallyyourbrand." Zara says as we get out of the car under the arena for Duncan’s first home game of the season. He was able to get me this access so I wouldn't have to worry about causing a scene outside. He asked his friend on the staff to take care of it so there’s a slight connection between us but hopefully no one will ask questions about it.
I’ve finally gotten past all the questions from people at The Alliston Academy. The first two weeks were full of people asking what I was writing, if I was seeing someone, how I channeled my pain into my music.
Duncan has been busy with his season starting and making sure his teammates are handling the first episode of Crosby’s reality show well. He has been spending more nights at my place since his days are full. Mine are too for that matter.
He did insist I watch the show while he was on the road this past week so I wouldn’t forget how hot he was.
Since he’s not allowed to send me a dick pic.
Any time I’m not at the school or with Duncan has been spent finalizing songs for the album. It’s coming together and I’m feeling good about it but the last month has been busy.
Basically, I’m ready for a night out.
Zara rounds the front of the car to join me as we head to the security checkpoint. "What sport would be my brand?"
Absent-mindedly she says. "I dunno, that cheese rolling thing."
I laugh. "What?"
"Isn’t that Scottish?"
"I honestly don’t know. But you could have gone with literally anything else."
She shrugs. "I see you and I see cheese."
"Flattering." I deadpan as I empty my pockets into the little tray. We’re scanned through and met by a staffer to escort us up to our suite.
I’ve been in arena basements before for tours but the nerves I am feeling right now are purely from the promise of seeing Duncan soon.
