GretzkyWannabe42: I’m taken, and my future wife’s going to be my sugar momma so I can’t rock the boat.

KillerCatQueen7: Ugh, but you were my sugar daddy first!

GretzkyWannabe42: You cleaned me out. What can I say?

KillerCatQueen7: ??

KillerCatQueen7: Lunch’s on me?

GretzkyWannabe42: I’m cheap so, yeah. Hawaiian pizza?

KillerCatQueen7: What else, handsome?

GretzkyWannabe42: You know what I noticed recently?

KillerCatQueen7: I dread to think

GretzkyWannabe42: You stopped drinking half a bottle of water before you eat…

KillerCatQueen7: Not just a pretty face.

KillerCatQueen7: Don’t need to worry so much about feeling full anymore.

KillerCatQueen7: I’ll pick the pizza up on the way home from the rink.

GretzkyWannabe42: I’d say that if I had it my way, you’d never have to skip a meal again (yeah, I’m onto you) but you’re my sugar momma now so maybe you’re the one who needs to watch my macros ??

KillerCatQueen7: Oh, I’m watching. Who’s the one who brought up food today?!

GretzkyWannabe42: You’re right. This sugar baby feels loved ??

GretzkyWannabe42: I’ll be back in an hour. Just in the whirlpool.

KillerCatQueen7: Reading smut stuff?

GretzkyWannabe42: Getting inspiration for later.

KillerCatQueen7: ??

KillerCatQueen7: You gonna beat Chicago tonight?

GretzkyWannabe42: Damn straight.

KillerCatQueen7: Do you know you never told me which Taylor Swift song you listen to during your pregame ritual?

GretzkyWannabe42: It changed after I met you

KillerCatQueen7: ?? From what?

GretzkyWannabe42: Used to be “Shake It Off”

GretzkyWannabe42: When you were playing fast and loose with my heart, “Blank Space”

GretzkyWannabe42: Now, it’s “willow.” It’s about falling in love with someone from the very beginning. Why wouldn’t that pump me up to go and bring you back the Cup, baby?

KillerCatQueen7: I love you (even if you don’t win the Stanley trophy OR beat Chicago later)

GretzkyWannabe42: I love you too ?? (Heresy. I’ll win it on purpose now. And it’s a CUP, babe.)
