Hadlee had managed to get all her cases transferred to Mark this morning. He was glaring daggers at her the entire time. He couldn't believe she would give up criminal practice. Mark had been making rude remarks all morning. He informed her that the Bruins were in for a rude awakening tonight at the hands of the Wings. Hadlee kept focusing on the cases and getting out of Mark's office. Shaunessy came into the office and asked Hadlee to lunch. He explained that the family court judge would be there as well so she could officially meet Hadlee. Mark rolled his eyes behind Shaunessy's back but in full view of Hadlee. She wanted to scream, smack him, or let Looch have him for target practice.

"Mark" said Shaunessy "I suggest that you familiarize yourself with O'Bannon file. You start trial on it Monday."

"Sir," he began "Shouldn't she cover the trial? I've never even me the defendant. She has made all the witness lists and has reviewed the discovery."

"It's Thursday and you have the weekend." said Shaunessy "I have faith you will be ready. But you can skip the game tonight if you think you need the extra time. I'm sure everyone would understand."

"No Sir, I'll be ready. I'm looking forward to the game. I'm not sure the Bruins are ready for a real test." he smirked at Hadlee.

"If they lose tonight, I'll do the trial." said Hadlee. Shaunessy laughed at Hadlee's fierce expression. He hoped Mr. Miller would be able pull out a win for Hadlee. Mark would run her into the ground if not.

"Fair bet" replied Mark "Better hope they win or you'll spend your birthday trial prepping."

"When is your birthday Hadlee?" asked Shaunessy.

"Tomorrow, Sir" Hadlee replied. It irked her to no end that Mark knew personal information.
"Well if all goes well with the judge you can have tomorrow off." said Shaunessy with a wink. Yay thought Hadlee, no Saturday morning at the law firm. Mark looked on furiously as Hadlee left for lunch.

Hadlee sat quietly in the passenger seat of Mr. Shaunessy's car. She sent Kevan a text before his nap.

Hadlee: Hope you made it home in time for your nap.
Kevan: I am lying here reading the 3rd Mortal Instrument book
Hadlee: Well let the guys know I desperately need them to kick a lung out of the Wings.
Kevan: We'll do our best babe.
Hadlee: I need you to win. I kinda bet Mark, the asshole at work, that you all would win or I would cover a trial next week for him.
Kevan: I will tell the guys that this is what you want for your birthday.
Hadlee: Promise them food, cupcakes, whatever just win.
Kevan: You got it babe.
Hadlee: I will be in the office's box during intermissions and after the game. Mr. Shaunessy invited the girls and you all up as well.
Kevan: I will come up before we go home.
Hadlee: Home? My place or yours
Kevan: Wherever you are Hadlee Bell.
Hadlee: Happy nap...you suck by the way. Meeting the family court judge while you nap.
Kevan: Good luck.

Lunch turned into a 2 hour affair. The family court judge Cavanaugh was apparently a collegiate basketball fan who was holding a grudge from 90's UMASS days. She informed Hadlee that she had saw Hadlee cheer on several occasions at the NCCA tournaments. She told Hadlee it was good to see some fresh blood in the stuffy law community. She explained the rotation system for Guardian Ad Litems. She then told Hadlee that first thing Monday she was appointing Hadlee in a conflict case. Hadlee told her that as long as she didn't have a trial she would be more than happy to take the case.

"I thought you gave all her cases to Mark" said the Judge to Shaunessy.

"Well Hadlee and Mark had a slight disagreement. Hadlee bet Mark that the Bruins would beat the Wings tonight. As long as her boyfriend pulls out a win then she will be trial free." remarked Shaunessy.

"A hockey fan from the SEC." laughed the Judge. "You are full of surprises Miss Reynolds."

"I'm learning" said Hadlee "Brad hasn't declared me a lost cause yet."

"So you and Marchand." she prodded.

"No Ma'am. Brad is a great friend. He is seeing my friend Kayleigh Daniels." supplied Hadlee.

"Ah so no Bruin boyfriend?"

"Ummm.." Hadlee blushed "I've been seeing Kevan Miller."

"He is something isn't he. I'm glad he finally put Prust to the ice. Can't let those Habs think they can push us around. Moen won't come at him ever again."

"I should hope not" said Hadlee.

"Well I have season tickets behind the glass of the penalty box. Call me if you want to see your boy." laughed the Judge.

"Yes Ma'am" laughed Hadlee "I'm hoping he stays out of the box."

"Cavanaugh, Hadlee will be in our box after the game feel free to come up." said Shaunessy signing the credit slip.

"I'll be up eventually." she replied "Kiss him for good luck Miss Reynolds or just because you have him"

"Yes Ma'am" Hadlee replied as she hoisted her bag on her shoulder. Mr. Shaunessy dropped Hadlee by her car. He told her to go home for the day. Hadlee had her game clothes in a bag in her car. She was meeting the girls at Kevan's and taking a cab to the game. So logically she should go crawl in bed with Kevan or fix him dinner.

Hadlee let herself into Kevan's apartment. She had taken her heels off so they wouldn't make a sound. She changed into jeans and her Knock'em out shirt in his half bathroom. She left her hair in the fishtail braid Caroline had plaited it into. She began fussing around Kevan's kitchen. She soon had made pasta carbonara. After turning off the heat, she went into Kevan's room and crawled into the bed beside him. It was pitch black in there. Apparently, he liked to nap in a cave. She leaned over and kissed his shoulder. He snaked an arm out and pulled her up against him. Damn it even in his sleep he had a vice grip on her. She wiggled around but still couldn't free herself. She kissed the shell of his ear and whispered "Wake up Miller." He cocked his head towards her.

"Hey babe" he said clearly not awake "So am i dreaming that you crashed my nap."

"Nope" she said kissing his mouth "and I made supper. So get up. Your phone will go off in about 30 seconds."

" You are a keeper Hadlee Belle" he replied as he rolled Hadlee beneath him and sank his hands into her hair. Kevan kissed her senseless until the alarm went off.

"You might be a keeper, Miller" she retorted "Look at what you did to my braid." Kevan pulled the end of it.

"It's bed head sexy" he replied.

"I was in bed for less than two minutes Miller" she taunted "Is that what you want the boys to think?"

"They've seen you doll" he laughed "they would understand. What is your Gilbert guys says hotter than the barrel of a sawed off shotgun."

"Nice save Miller" she replied "Gonna tell Tuukka to watch his back. Go eat. I'm gonna raid your closet and pick a suit for you." Hadlee was looking around his closet. Black pinstripes was winning at the moment. She found a black dress shirt and a gunmetal gray tie. Yep mobster chic. Hadlee put suit on the bed. She went into the kitchen. Kevan was standing at the counter eating. Hadlee wrapped her arms around him from behind and laid her head on his back. "You have a dining room and bar stools"

"I know." he replied "I always eat standing in the kitchen on game days. Weird hockey superstitions."

"You so better not blame me if you lose tonight. I bring no bad juju to this party." she replied.
Kevan laughed at loud. He put his bowl on the counter and captured Hadlee in his arms. He took her face in his hands "No bad juju, Babe." He kissed her and then went to shower. Hadlee laughed and started loading the dishwasher. She was putting detergent in the machine when Kevan came back into the kitchen dripping wet in a towel. Hadlee glanced at him then back at the dishwasher. Dear lord the man was beautifully made. "You're making a puddle" said Hadlee trying to ignore the drops of water sliding down his chest on to the towel.

"You see this is a double standard" Kevan smirked "You come out in a towel. I want throw you on the counter. I come out in a towel you tell me I'm leaving a puddle. How's that fair Hadlee Belle?" Kevan was advancing on her and soon had her backed up against the pantry door.

"Well for starters I doubt I could put you up on the counter. Second I'm so not upsetting the hockey gods by molesting one of their own on game day. Third, I might hate to see you cover all that up but I want to see you in that suit I picked out." explained Hadlee. Kevan retreated to his room but threw the towel at Hadlee when he cleared the door.

Kevan came out a few minutes later dressed in his slacks and button down with the sleeved undone. He had the tie and his cuff links in his hand. Hadlee motioned for him to come over to her. She hopped up on the counter. She put the tie around his neck and tied it for him. She straighten the knot. Turned down the collar. Hadlee then fixed his cuffs for him. Kevan stole a kiss then moved back into his room to find his dress shoes. He highly doubted she would let him get away with wearing his chucks. When he came out into the living room Hadlee was settled into one end of the couch reading on her iPad. He glanced at his watch and grabbed a bottle of water.

"Got to head to the arena" he said kissing the top of her head. "I'll have Greg get a car for you all."

"A cab" she said "It's a 10 minute ride."

"Babe, the town car will drop you off closer than a cab can get." Kevan said "It makes us feel better because I know you are not traipsing around the Wings fans."

A knock on the door cut off Hadlee's response. Kevan opened the door for Caroline. She looked at Kevan and gave him once over. "Damn Had, he cleans up well."

"You've seen him dressed up before" laughed Hadlee

"Yes, but not all mobster looking." said Caroline looking at Hadlee "Miller, what the hell did you do to her hair?"

"What?" he said laughing. He leaned over and kissed Hadlee. He winked at Caroline and left for the arena.

Caroline laughed as he went out the door. "You dress him today?" asked Caroline.

"Yeah, why?" replied Hadlee "He has on dress shoes instead of chucks. I think you broke our California surfer boy."

"I didn't break him. He picked out his own shoes."

Hadlee pulled out her phone and texted Kevan.

Hadlee: Do you want your chucks?
Kevan: No I am good. Caroline noticed that did she.
Hadlee: Yes, Sir
Kevan: I'm good. See you when I hit the ice.

Caroline was standing behind her unbraiding her hair. There was a knock on the door and Kayleigh walked in.

"Saw Kevan in the lobby." said Kayleigh "Damn girl."

Hadlee laughed. Caroline pulled a curling iron and a teasing brush out of her purse. She directed Hadlee into a chair next to an outlet. She pulled Hadlee's hair half up. She curled the bottom and then the top layer. Caroline teased the top layer and captured the curls in a clip. She clipped in Hadlee's Bruins bow.

"Go do your make-up" said Caroline "It's not competition hair but it will do." Caroline pointed at Kayleigh and made her sit. She quickly teased Kayleigh's bangs back. She clipped it down and pulled the rest of her hair into a long ponytail. She took her time curling her ponytail. Kayleigh handed her a black and gold bow. Caroline clipped it in. Kayleigh disappeared to touch up her make-up. Caroline pulled Dougie's jersey on. She then fixed her makeup. Hadlee came back into the room as Caroline finished curling her hair. "Up or down" she asked. Hadlee braided the top of Caroline's hair and left the rest hanging in curls. She put a bow in Caroline's hair. Kayleigh pulled on Marchand's jersey. Hadlee grabbed her boots from the floor of Kevan's bedroom. She had things scattered all over his apartment. Usually the cleaning lady put all of her things in a pile on the chair on her side of their bed. Their bed thought Hadlee. She kind of liked the way it sounded.

"Hadlee move your ass" called Caroline "Greg said the car will be here in 5 minutes."

"Coming" yelled Hadlee pulling on her knee high black boots. She debated grabbing her jersey but decided Brad would get a kick out of her wearing the shirt he had made. It had Kevan's name and number on the back.

The girls locked up and headed to the lobby. Hadlee noticed that Greg had a SugarBaker's box sitting on his station.

"Have fun girls. Wish them luck." stated Greg opening the door to the town car. "Thanks Kayleigh for the treats."

"No problem" she replied "Let me know if you have a favorite. I can send some over with Hadlee."

"I'm going to bring the wife over to the bakery. She will love it."

"Make sure to ask the people at the counter if I am there. I would love to meet her." said Kayleigh

"Will do." Greg then started laughing as her read Hadlee's shirt. "I take Mr. Marchand had the shirt made for you Miss Hadlee."

"How did you ever guess" sighed Hadlee showing him the back. Greg just continued to laugh.

The girls arrived at the arena and picked up the tickets from will call. Their seats were the same as the previous game. Kayleigh informed them that they were going in search of ice cream before they sat down. The managed to locate the small shop that was the same one that Brad had taken her to. They all got cones and headed to their seats. The guys would take the ice in a few minutes for warm up. A few season ticket holders spoke to the girls as they made their way down to the seats. Hadlee and the girls waved at Dave and Will. Will was sporting a tiny Lucic jersey. Will was bouncing up and down.

"They're gonna kill Detroit" he said with a bloodlust that was cute at age 6.

"They will win" said Caroline.

"Hey Caroline" called Will "How come you don't hold hands with Hamilton?"

Kayleigh and Hadlee looked at Caroline "Yeah Caroline?"

"Do you think I should?" Caroline teased "I was kind of hoping you would hold my hand."
"Gross" said Will "I don't want a girlfriend." The girls all laughed. He settled into his seat beside his dad. The girls had learned that dad had season tickets and brought Will to all the games his best friend couldn't attend. Will apparently had not stopped talking about the Bruins or the girls.

"Well if you don't want to hold hands do you want to sit in my lap for warm-ups." asked Caroline

"Umm" he looked at his dad questioningly.

"Go on" said Dave "But you have to sit in your seat during the game." Dave explained he had told Will not to bother the girls.

"No bother" replied Hadlee "Will is teaching me about hockey."

The crowd roared as the boys took the ice. The boys all skated out with Tuuk's leading the pack. The crowd booed as the Wings came out of their tunnel. Brad was skating in circles around their end of the arena. Hadlee and the girls watched them stretch out. After a little while they were all busy taking shots at Tuukka. Brad came by the glass and waved at the girls. He gave Will a thumbs up. Will beamed at the girls. Looch came by a few minutes later and tossed a puck over the glass to Will. The girls were all looking at Will and his puck when Kevan skated by and tapped the glass. Hadlee blew him a kiss before he skated off. They completed their warm ups and headed back into the locker room before the start of the first period. Will climbed back up to his seat clutching his puck.

The lights dimmed and the music started as the Bruins took the ice. The two starting line ups were announced. Rene, per Brad, sang the anthem. The first face off was between Krejci and Datsyuk. The puck was sent reeling out to Abdelkader. Dougie managed to push Abdelkader up against the wall and sling the puck to Lucic. He cut back towards the Bruins goal. Chara was in front of the net. Krejci was to the left of the goal. Lucic flew around behind the goal and flicked the puck at Krejci. He sent the puck flying at the net only to have it land in Howards glove. The Krejci line went off the ice and Brad's line flew off the bench. The Wings were moving back towards Tuukka. Seidenberg and Boychuck were back at the net with Rask. Nyquist shot around Seidenburg with the puck. Bergeron managed to poke the puck loose from Nyquist. Smith and Franzen were in the corner battling for the puck. Brendan Smith of the Wings then tried to poke the puck free from his brother. Smitty sent the puck out to Marchand. Brad slammed the puck into the net stick side on Howard. Hadlee, Kayleigh, and Caroline were all on their feet as the tug boat horn sounded. Brad skated by and hit the glass in front of the girls. Then bumped gloves with everyone as the third line came off the bench. Kevan was out with Krug, Soderburg, Spooner, and Caron. Kevan managed to knock the puck loose from Tartar and sent it back down the ice to Soderburg. There was banging and thrashing up against the boards. They went into the locker room 1-0 in favor of the Bruins.

Hadlee and the girls climbed up the stairs and headed up to her bosses box. She introduced the girls to Shaunessy. Mark was sitting in the box wearing a red t-shirt.

"You wore a Wings t-shirt" said Caroline "In a Bruins box. Wow."

Hadlee reluctantly introduced the girls to Mark. He asked how many UK cheerleaders did the Bruins need to keep them entertained. Hadlee glared at him. Shaunessy told him to mind his manners. They discussed the first period. Shaunessy remarked that Marchand seemed more centered than usual. Caroline nudged Kayleigh. Who turned bright red.

"Ah, so you are the one dating Marchand" said Shaunessy "Tell him the season ticket holders are happy to see him doing so well out of the gate." Kayleigh promised that she would. Hadlee explained that Kayleigh owned a bakery and catering business there in Boston. He offered to use SugarBakers for an event with the firm. Hadlee told him he wouldn't be disappointed. The clock was winding down and the girls made their way back down to their seats.

"Mark's a dick" said Caroline.

"Really, I hadn't noticed" replied Hadlee "He basically called me an air brained whore when the pictures of me dancing with Marchand came out. He then proceeded to tell me that Kevan was probably banging a bar fly in Montreal. Then he asked me out."

"Miller would snap his spine." said Caroline jovially.

"He doesn't know." stated Hadlee "Hopefully he will clear out before Kevan joins us in the box. I did however secretly hope Looch might squash his preppy head."

The girls laughed. The 2nd period was underway. The Wings came out looking like they wanted blood. Datsyuk broke away from the pack and fired a puck at Rask. Tuukka snatched the puck out of the air. Hadlee was on her feet yelling for Tuukka. The second line came out and couldn't get the puck in the net. The second period seemed to be dragging by. There was 1:12 seconds left on the clock. Bergeron faced off against Weiss. Bergy passed the puck neatly to Marchand. Who skipped it past Nyquist. Both Smith brothers were chasing the puck. Reilly spun past Brendan and flipped the puck back at Marchand who was open in front of Howard. The puck bounced of Marchand's skate. He recovered and backhanded the puck into the net. The tug boat horn sounded followed by the entire crowd chanting to Zombie Nation. The period ended 2-0. Hadlee only hoped it could hold.

The girls hung out with Will during the second intermission. He made them promise not to kiss him if he came down. They laughed and agreed. Kayleigh flagged down the cotton candy guy for Will. The girls and Will shared bunch of blue cotton candy. Will poked Hadlee and pointed at the Jumbotron. It was currently showing Hadlee, Will, Caroline, and Kayleigh. The frame around them said Happy Birthday Hadlee Belle from the Boston Bruins. Hadlee smiled and waved at the camera. The camera then skipped around the arena. The ice girls were launching t-shirts into the crowd. They asked David if Will could stay with them until the end of the third. Will was so excited David agreed and tossed Will a hat and another Bruins hat to Hadlee. Hadlee looked at the hat strangely.

"If you score 3 goals in one game it's a hat trick." explained Will shaking his head at Hadlee's lack of hockey knowledge "So if Marchand gets another goal the entire arena will throw hats on the ice." Caroline laughed and pulled 3 UK hats out of her purse.

"I got this" said Caroline. All 3 of the girls wrote Congrats! on the inside of the bill along with their names.

"Now I just hope Brad scores again." said Kayleigh

As the girls were settling in the Wings were up the ice and Datsyuk slammed a puck past Rask within the first 26 seconds. Hadlee groaned. Will said that it's Datsyuk. Like that made that any better. The play was back and forth until the first break to tend to the ice. The teams came back and the play resumed the Bruins were not able to score. In fact turnovers were killing them. Hadlee wasn't sure but she was pretty sure that Caroline was plotting Spooner and Caron's death. The first line came out and was unable to convert. The second line poured on to the ice the Wings were in possession. Reilly stole the puck from his brother who he pushed into the boards. He passed the puck over to Chara. Chara got tangled up with DeKeyser and flipped it over to Bergy. Nyquist knocked the puck loose from Bergy at center ice. Hamilton snatched it and sent it flying to Marchand who tapped it in the net. The arena went wild. The crowd was screaming before the horn and song began. Hats were raining down on the ice. Brad skated by and tapped on the glass as the girls threw the hats on the ice. Hadlee held will up so he could toss his out on the ice. The players were all petting on Marchy. Hadlee was impatiently waiting for them to clear the ice. It was a 3-1 lead and she wanted it to stay that way.

The third line spilled out along with Krug and Kevan. The arena was still amped up over the hat trick. They were chanting Bruins. It was wild. Hadlee liked rowdy crowds. Rupp had always been charged with energy. Hadlee nor Will could sit still during the third. They were up they were down. Kevan checked Weiss hard into the corner. Before Hadlee realized what was going on DeKeyser was shoving at Kevan. He shoved DeKeyser back. Hadlee was on her feet at the glass. She heard the opening strains of Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood and Caroline grabbed her arm as DeKeyser shoved Kevan again.

"He threw his gloves" yelled Will who was now standing beside Hadlee banging on the glass. Will looked at Hadlee and then took her hand "It will be okay Miss Hadlee." Hadlee smiled at Will and looked on as Kevan and DeKeyser went at one another. They were latched on to one another both throwing punches. Kevan was throwing over and under punches at DeKeyser. DeKeyser hit Kevan in the mouth and split his lip back open. Hadlee thought it looked worse this time than before. Kevan then started pushing DeKeyser up against the glass. He was hitting him in the body then the face. Kevan hit him hard in the jaw. The linesmen weren't breaking it up. Kevan and he kept struggling until DeKeyser hit the ice and Kevan was pulled backwards off DeKeyser. Will was hitting the glass. The Bruins were all banging their sticks on the boards. Hadlee looked at Caroline. Who informed Hadlee he did good. The screens around the arena replayed the fight. Flashing 5 minute majors for fighting. DeKeyser was put in the box for the Wings but Kevan went off the ice.

"Don't worry he is fine" said Caroline "It's less than 2 minutes left of the game. They making sure his mouth doesn't need stitches. He'll hit be down there for the media scrum. I'm sure he will text in a few."

"He's tough Miss Hadlee" smiled Will who still held Hadlee's hand. The rest of the crowd was wild. The first line came back on the to the ice. The puck went from Erikson to Dougie. Dougie flung it into the back of the net. The tug boat horn sounded. 4-1 Bruins. The crowd if possible went wilder. Caroline smiled as Dougie bumped fists with the team. He smiled up at Caroline. The Wings made a last ditched effort to score in the last 33 seconds but Marchand sent the puck reeling up the ice and away from Rask. The clock ran out with the Bruins winning.

The girls hugged Will and promised to see him at another game later in the season. Hadlee programmed David's number into her phone so she could let him know what games they would be at so Will could hang out. Hadlee and the girls went back to Mr. Shaunessy's box.
Mark was obviously pissed off. Hadlee said nothing of their bet. Shaunessy poured the girls drinks while they waited for the guys. Hadlee said the boys would fetch them from the box. Mr. Shaunessy said it was impressive night for all three of their gentlemen. They talked for 30 minutes with Shaunessy and were soon joined by Judge Cavanaugh. Hadlee introduced her friends to the judge. The judge informed Kayleigh that she absolutely loved SugarBaker's.

"How's Miller's face?" asked Mark pointedly.

"Not sure yet" replied Hadlee "He is still in the locker room."

"You didn't run down there to check on him." mocked Mark "He has boo boo."

"He is a hockey player he will get bumps and bruises" replied Hadlee.

"Most of the wives and girlfriends hang out down by the locker room" he snarked "Funny you are all up here. Don't you want to know who is hanging around them downstairs."

Kevan walked in the door behind where Mark was standing. Followed by Marchy, Dougie, and Rask. Kevan heard the last statement Mark made. He cocked his head at Hadlee.

"Not worried at all" she replied.

"Well you should be" he snapped.

"Why is that?" asked Miller standing behind Mark. Kevan sidestepped Mark and went over to Hadlee. Mark didn't have answer. He glared at Miller. Hadlee saw Brad carrying the UK caps. Hadlee introduced Kevan and Mark. Mark seemed more reserved with his commentary now that Kevan was there.

Kevan leaned down and was attempting to kiss Hadlee but she stopped him. Hadlee stepped back and put her hand up to his mouth. He leaned down to let her inspect the neat stitches in his bottom lip. She winced when she saw them. Then kissed the other side of his mouth. "I'm fine Babe." He tucked her up against him. Mr. Shaunessy and Judge Cavanaugh came over to inspect the damage. Both congratulated him on the win.

"Ah Hadlee, I guess you will be coming to the special hearing on Monday since the Wings fan will be covering your trial." stated the judge.

"Yes Ma'am" said Hadlee politely as she hugged Rask and ruffled his curls. Dougie and Caroline were sitting side by side on one of the couches. Brad was dragging Kayleigh from person to person in the box.

"Hadlee Belle" yelled Brad "I got a hat trick."

"I know" laughed Hadlee kissing him "The six year old had to explain it to me." She then poked Kevan in the abs "He also held my hand while you were playing rockem' sockem' robots with DeKeyser."

"Sorry Hadlee" smirked Kevan "He started it." Kevan leaned down and nuzzled his head against her neck. Mark glared daggers at him again. Kevan smiled at her. He winced as it pulled his stitches.

"Yeah, well next time he busts your lip he's gonna meet my inner redneck princess" she said kissing him gently.

"Nobody wants to see that" called Caroline " She channels West. Bye guys Dougie is gonna drive me home."

Hadlee waved bye. Kevan laughed. "I don't think I can let my 5ft tall girl try to take on all 6'3ft of Dan DeKeyser."

"I have 3 brothers his size Miller." she retorted "I know how to handle myself."

"How about we go home?" he asked pulling her up against him.

"Let's go ice your boo boo" she said looking at Mark.

Kevan laughed loud. "You heard the woman" he said to Brad "Home to ice my boo boo. Hey you promised to make it worth my time if we beat the Wings."

"Oh I plan on it" said Hadlee. The judge laughed and told Hadlee to take it easy on the boy. Marchand and Kayleigh followed them out of the box. Kevan asked her to wait a minute. He walked back into the room and leaned close to Mark's ear and said something. Hadlee noticed Mark blanche. Kevan came back out of the room and grabbed her hand. "Ready" he asked.

"What did you say to him." she asked as they walked to the car.

"Nothing" said Kevan looking at Hadlee.

"Miller, he turned white as a sheet" she replied.

"I might have told him that if he says one more thing to you that makes you doubt what kind of man I am that what I did to Moen would be the tip off the iceberg."

"Kevan you can't threaten people over me." scowled Hadlee.

"Not a threat Doll" replied Kevan "It's a goddamn promise, if he hurts you. He wants you himself. You should probably be with a guy like him. But he isn't going to treat you badly."

"I don't want to be with a guy like him." said Hadlee as he opened the door to the SUV. "I want you. Hockey brawls, stitches, the whole thing."

"I'm not going anywhere Hadlee Belle" Kevan kissed her before buckling her seatbelt " Someone has a birthday in about an hour."

Notes
