Body Check

Mile High Miners

by Danielle Wright

DawsonMeeting Kayla the first time knocked the wind out of me like a Body Check on the ice. Knowing she belonged to someone else was the second hit. I felt a connection with her right away, but since I couldn’t have her, I settled for being her friend. That was better than nothing, and to be honest, it was all I could offer her. It wasn’t like I was going to get a chance to stick around. I would get traded just like I did every season. Only this time it would hurt. The Miners weren’t just a hockey team, they were a family, the thing I had been looking for since mine was ripped away from me in the middle of the night.KaylaI should have been devastated. The man I shared my life with wasn’t who I thought he was, however the second I was on the back of Dawson’s bike I felt something I always longed for. With my arms wrapped around him, I felt safe. Letting go of the past was easy, it was not getting my hopes up for a future that we both said we couldn’t have that was hard. But as the days passed, and our agreement of no feelings continued to unravel, I was left hoping we could make a future work, even though he didn’t know what the future of his career looked like. It wasn’t until his past and our future came into play that I had to ask, Could we both avoid another Body Check and maybe on this play score a goal?

When she is not reading or writing you can find her hanging out with her family, watching football, The Voice, Greys Anatomy, Sons of Anarchy or going to the movies or concerts with friends. She is a huge country music fan, although her favorite band is Maroon 5 and she has a major crush on Adam Levine. She loves anything Disney, and still believes in magic, fairy tales and true love.
