“Oh, and Lachlan will be a good fit for your first idea. Journalists love his accent.”
“Does he need media training?” I ask.
“A quick review won’t hurt, but keep your pants on.”
I burst out laughing. “I will. I’m not into hockey players.”
Lina gives me a funny look.
“What?”
“Lucy, everyone’s into hockey players.” She looks at me over the top of her glasses. “But remember that the official team policy is that players and staffers shouldn’t date, and if they do, they need to disclose the relationship to HR right away.”
I laugh. “That won’t be a problem. I promise.”
When I leave her office thirty minutes later, there’s a string of texts from Raleigh and January. The first one is a picture of some of the Blizzard players taken from a charity calendar. They’re all standing in front of a snowy mountain with their shirts off. I jolt to a stop in the middle of the hallway.
Holy hell. My eyes roam over their bare chests until I find Kellen.
January
Honestly, you need to hit some of that while you’re in Colorado. Bang the breakup out of your system
Raleigh
January, you leave her alone. That’s the last thing she needs
January
The last thing? Look at the one named Harley. Second from right in the back row
Raleigh
January
Oh, and the one with the man bun. Smoking. Babes, maybe you need to bang your divorce out as well
Raleigh
I’m not even officially divorced yet. Let’s focus on Lucy
January
Lulu? You there? Pick one of those guys. Not your brother, obviously. Atticus is looking pretty hot these days though
Raleigh
Gross
January
There is no way you really think Lucy’s brother is gross in that picture
Raleigh
He will never not be that annoying freshman kid
January
