LACHIE
It doesn't matter that I was the number one draft pick in the NHL or that I'm projected to be the next great generational player, because none of it is enough to impress my childhood crush back in my hometown.
Sam used to mock me for being like a Disney Princess with my uncanny knack for finding animals in need. And being home in Colorado for the summer, I'm bound to run into him now that he runs the animal shelter where I used to volunteer. Where I used to try to get his attention every chance I had.
He never noticed me then, at least not in the way I wanted.
But if there's one thing my time in the NHL has taught me, it's how to fight for what I want.
SAM
It's been a few years since I saw the Disney Princess volunteer, but when he brings in a stray cat, I almost can't believe it's the same guy.
Damn, has he changed.
Gone is the gangly, pimple-faced teen, and in his place is a man who's grown up and bulked out. He used to follow me around, asking endless questions about animal care.
Now he's back, but instead of asking about animals, he's asking about me. About my life.
Flirting with me. And he's good at it, too.
There's something about Lachie that's undeniably irresistible. I'm willing to give in to his charms, even knowing all he can offer is a summer fling.
Turns out, my Disney Princess grew up to be a real Prince Charming.
