Like, NHL player hot. As in, literally an NHL player

WAIT. Are you at the same resort as Jonas Knight?

How do you know who he is?

Unlike you, I actually watch sports. Also, have you seen his Instagram? Those kids are adorable

His kids just murdered my laptop

...I'm going to need more details

Cannonball incident. Total write-off. He offered to buy me coffee

Just coffee?

And a new laptop. And dinner

GIRL

Don't start

I'm sorry, are we not talking about the fact that the internet's favorite hockey DILF is buying you coffee?

Never say DILF again

Fine. How about 'professionally attractive single father who reads your work'?

How did you know he reads my work?

He's mentioned your articles in interviews. But sure, pretend you haven't googled him

I switch to Instagram, where Ryan's already messaging me:

Please tell me you're getting something good

Define 'good'

Anything that will sell to our family-friendly demographic

What about my 'Hot Single Dad Destroys Property, Offers Caffeine as Compensation' idea? I really think it has teeth. Did you like it?

You talking about Jonas Knight? The one whose last Instagram post got more engagement than our entire summer campaign?

His kids drowned my laptop

Love it. This is exactly the kind of content we need

Me getting my laptop destroyed is content?

Your meeting a hot dad through a classic meet-cute

This isn't a meet-cute. This is property damage

Same thing. Get me that story. And try to work in how family-friendly the resort is

Even when families are destroying electronics?

ESPECIALLY
