Puck Shy

By: Teagan Hunter

I'm having the definition of a bad year.

Game Six loss costing my team the Cup? Check.

Getting arrested and ruining my image? Check.

Almost getting run over after my car breaks down? Oh, look-a hat trick.

My contract is up with the Carolina Comets this year, and I need to get it together if I want to stay with the team.

I need relaxation, not a relationship.

But when I'm scrolling on a dating app and stumble across the pretty girl who almost ran me over, I know I can't let her walk away this time.

Harper is funny, smart, and doesn't care about hockey.

I'm not supposed to be focusing on anything other than my career, yet I can't get Harper off my mind.

I know I shouldn't fall for her...but I think I already have.
