Chapter 68

Cody

I have the puck lined up, we’ve only just begun and in a good position already. Atlas made a good sweep move and I managed to intercept to get control of the puck, but seeing Luna behind the screen is doing my head in. I need to focus, this is the last game of the season, the most important game and…. Fuck. A player from Toronto has got it off me, just like that. Two seconds with my eyes off the damn thing and it’s gone out of my reach. Damn and fuck Luna. If she wasn’t here this wouldn’t have happened. Hell, I can’t keep blaming her. It’s on me. I shouldn’t have glanced up. But for a split second in my gut, I thought Immi would be there, I know I was just hoping even though I know there is no way in hell she could even be at my game right now.

The sinking feeling hits the pit of my stomach. “What the hell was that about? You had it in the bag. Man. Tsk.” Atlas is not impressed as he skates by me. I shrug. Fuck, I am mad at myself. We could have had the first goal in of the game
