John should be preparing for his last hockey game, the championship. Instead, he is in my office for physical therapy.
The gossip is flying at work that we are a couple, and we aren’t dispelling the rumor.
My older brother has told him to stay away from me. He could almost be my dad.
John is a grump and abrasive, he says from his military days. We’re so different. I’m sweet but sassy enough to put up with his attitude.
Spending so much time together, our connection is growing. I’m slowly falling for him. He goes out of his way for me and I feel special.
After protecting me from a mugging, John’s injury worsens. I owe him. I must help him so he can play the final game of his career and win the championship.
