"Things are going ok you do know that right I mean you're going to get better and go out there and be amazing like you always have been” Cassie says

“Yeah I know but in the back of my mind it's always there what if it gets worse or something happens and I have to give up this game I love. This has been my life for all my life I don't know anything else”Sid says

"Sidney that's not going to happen not yet trust me and you're never going to give up the game after your done playing you are still going to do stuff with hockey and the NHL probably right here in Pittsburgh “ Cassie says

“Yeah it's pretty much home” Sid says

“I know baby” Cassie says

"I know and I was stupid to ever leave this city my home since I was born but an amazing job came around and I took it so you can quit worrying I am not leaving I didn't want to when I came back but I also didn't want to be depending on others to take care of me” Cassie says

"Thank god” Sid says

“You were worrying about that's on top of everything else weren't you” she asks

"Truthfully yes baby even if we were just friends still I didn't want you to leave but if you left now that I finally realized how much I love you I would have been devastated” Sid says

" Sid don't worry but I do want to find work to keep me busy I don't need to find my own place but I do need a job something to do” Cassie says
