None of that, though, changes the fact that she’s actually a nice wo dinner, but I noticed that no one really talked to her She would solossed over She got looks of veiled disgust fro at their table, and it was clear that they were snubbing her and probably only because she was so overtly sexy

Therefore, after dinner, I suggested Bishop go hang out with so ru after we showed up hand in hand I i by herself in the bar area She looked visibly relieved when I approached her

Turns out that she just moved to the area froe fan of their hockey teaeable about the sport, and we’ve been talking about it Occasionally I glance at Bishop as he hangs with a group of players His eyes sometimes wander over to me and it makes my belly flutter when he smiles at me

Eventually Bishop breaks away froroup and heads to the bar I’m surprised when heby himself

I know all about Tacker Hall Because I’m not into professional hockey in a deeply vested way but rather as more of an exuberant fan of my father’s tea to Phoenix, he has opened up to me somewhat about his concerns about Tacker’s place on this team I thinko

While my father had some input into the players they chose in the expansion draft, his concerns about Tacker joining the tea into a coement

This was ulti camp this week, my father saw real potential in Tacker to actually be a leader His emotionally withdrawn demeanor apparently does not play out on the ice Thehis fiancée, and that’s evidenced by the way he closes hi solitude rather than socialization

I turn slightly to look back over at Bishop, and now I’ there with hioing to be the team’s captain

I really hate not looking at Bishop He is extraordinarily handsoray suit so dark it could pass for black, but it has thin threads of light blue running vertically in a wide, plaid pattern He paired it with a pale blue shirt and a blue and yellow tie It must be an unwritten rule, but hockey players clean up very, very well Again, he wears his long hair swept back from his face and perfectly held in place by some type of miracle hair product I have to find out what it is, because when et into his hair, it’s not stiff or sticky but feels just fabulously thick and soft
