Page 39 of Puck & Make Up

FOX: Pucks and sticks and my teammates trying to figure out why I’m smiling like an idiot all the time.

DESSIE: Well…

FOX: Well what?

DESSIE: Did they figure it out?

FOX: We’re all spending a ton of time in close contact with little to keep us busy, what do you think, sugar?

DESSIE: That hockey players gossip worse than the citizens of River’s Bend.

FOX: Bingo.

FOX: They know it’s a woman and they want to meet you. Especially Smitty.

DESSIE: That’s…terrifying.

FOX: Apparently he dreams of being a matchmaker.

DESSIE: Also terrifying.

FOX: I told him I’m already matched up.

DESSIE: …

FOX: Too much?

DESSIE: I…

DESSIE: For once, I think that it might not be enough.

FOX: Fuck.

DESSIE: What?

FOX: I wish it was a five minute drive away so I could come over and kiss you for that.

DESSIE: Good.

FOX: It’s good I’m getting blue balls from missing you?

DESSIE: It’s good because it means you still want me to come down tomorrow.

FOX: I want you to come down forever.

DESSIE: …

FOX: Too much?

DESSIE: Maybe.

DESSIE: But I think…I like it.

DESSIE: Good luck at the preseason game.

DESSIE: See you tomorrow.

DESSIE: Sorry the game went to hell.
