Bailey POV

"You're going to be fine."

I glance at Orion as he pulls his sleek black car into a long, tree-lined driveway. My stomach has been doing nervous flips for the past twenty minutes, and his reassurance does little to calm it.

"Easy for you to say," I mutter, smoothing down my dress for the hundredth time.

I had bled my brain over what to wear and finally settled on a simple emerald green dress that Talia assured me screamed "classy girlfriend meeting the parents" without trying too ha

    Orion POV The silence is broken by Jasper. Of course he is the one to break it.“ Instead of thinking someone did it deliberately, why not consider the fact that someone was filming practice which happens all the time.It could be a fan who sneaked out of a scout or a journalist…anyone could have posted this." He argues.There's another knock on the door, and James pokes his head in. "Coach, there are reporters outside.” He announces.“They're asking about the incident with Hayes and the rookie. What do you want me to tell them?" He continues to ask."Tell them no comment," Coach says immediately, but I can see the strain on his face. "Tell them that the matter is being handled internally.We're investigating.” the coach replied."They're asking if Hayes will be suspended," James adds, looking uncomfortable."No comment means no comment," Coach repeats firmly.As James leaves, I catch sight of Nolan through the open door. He's standing with a group of players and when our eyes meet,

    Orion POVCoach Williams' office suddenly feels smaller than usual with six people crammed inside. Jasper also followed us uninvited."Can someone tell me exactly what happened out there?” Coach Williams asks once he is settled."I already told you that Hayes deliberately stepped on my foot with his skate. I saw him coming, tried to get out of the way but he adjusted his path to hit me anyway." Luca says before I can say anything."That's not…" I start, but Jasper cuts me off."I saw it too, Coach." Jasper steps forward, his expression serious. "I was skating right behind them. Hayes saw Luca in his path and instead of stopping or changing direction, he actually accelerated. It looked intentional to me."My blood runs cold. "You're lying." I blurted."I'm telling you what I saw," Jasper says, meeting my eyes with false sincerity. "Look, I know you're the captain and everyone loves you, but what I saw out there wasn't an accident. It was aggression.""Aggression?" I turn to Coach. "Co

    Orion POVI glare at Nolan. Clearly, he was sabotaging any of my moves by either selling my passes or not passing the ball to me even when disadvantaged.Is that what he meant by he was going to prove that he was better than me? "Coach, I've been trying to run the plays…" I start."Hayes has been running the plays," Nolan interrupts harshly.“Maybe if he would let someone else take the lead once in a while…""You mean like when I set you up for three perfect shots and you either missed or didn't take them?" I turn to face him fully. "Or when you cut me off when I had a clear path to the goal?" He was trying to pass the blame on me when he was clearly the one in the wrong?"Maybe your so called clear path wasn't as clear as you thought," Nolan shoots back. “ You're so used to everyone treating you like the golden boy since you are the captain that you can't see when someone else has a better play.""This isn't about me being the golden boy," I say, keeping my voice low despite the

    Orion POV"You really don't have to walk me to the entrance," I tell Bailey as we approach the club's training facility. "I'm a big boy. I can find my way.""I know you can," she replies, her hand wrapped securely around mine. "But I wanted every extra second with you before you disappear into hockey land for the next four hours."The past weekend was perfect. Between getting Grandma settled back into her house, stealing moments alone with Bailey, and just existing in our little bubble of happiness…I don't think I've ever been more content.But now it's Monday and reality calls."You could come watch practice," I suggest, even though I already know what she'll say. "The guys would love to see you. Tyler's been asking about those cinnamon rolls you promised him." I try to persuade her."And give your coach and sponsors more ammunition?" Bailey shakes her head firmly. "Absolutely not. You just got lectured about keeping our relationship less visible. I'm not going to make things harder

    Bailey "You didn't have to impose on your parents for our sake," I protest, looking between Orion and the sleek sedan. "I can just drive Grandma to Talia's apartment. You've already done so much…”"Impose?" Orion cuts me off, and there is a hint of offense in his tone that makes his eyes twinkle. "Bailey Dawson, did you just say my family is imposing on each other?""That's not what I…" I trail off, unsure of what to say and not offend him."Last I checked, that's what family does. We help each other." He crosses his arms, but he is fighting a smile. "My parents even insisted that Grandma come stay with them until she has fully recovered. My mom already has a room prepared and everything." "She what?" Grandma and I say in unison."I told them I had other plans," Orion continues, his expression turning mysterious."What kind of plans?" I ask suspiciously."You'll see but I can give you a hint that it's a surprise." He opens the back door and helps Grandma settle into the seat with

    Bailey POV The shrill ring of my phone jolts me from my slumber.I grope for it blindly, squinting at the too-bright screen. 6:47 AM?“Who the fuck calls this early?” I groan in annoyance.I haven't had a good sleep for two days and someone dared to…My heart drops when I see the caller ID: It's the Michigan General Hospital."Hello?" My voice is rough with sleep and rising panic."Is this Bailey Dawson?""Yes, this is she. What's wrong? Is it my grandmother?" I ask amidst my panic."Ms. Dawson, this is Nurse Patterson from the cardiac rehabilitation unit. Your grandmother is fine…""Then why are you calling me at six in the morning?" I almost snap but remind myself that feeling relief is better than projecting whatever frustration I have from my disrupted sleep."I'm sorry Ms Dawson but I didn't have a choice.” The nurse replied, sounding apologetic and making me feel bad about my earlier reaction.“ Why? What happened?” I asked, half curious and half worried.“ Your granddaughter
