Status Updates From Ice Shy (Ottawa Otters Lege...

“Thank you. Anything else you need to get off your chest.”
“I love you,” he murmurs, holding me close against him. “I didn’t need
to tell you that. I just wanted to. You don’t need to —”
“I love you too.”
His arms tighten around me and he exhales a shaky laugh. “In keeping
with our honesty policy, I feel the need to tell you that you could do so
much better.”
“Shut up and kiss me, Coach.”
“Yes, Boss.”

"And even if they were, how could I risk it?
How could I look at a kid and ask him to trust me. Ask him to depend
on me to be a steady and safe presence that won’t fail him in some
irreversible way? How could I live with myself if I became the thing I
swore I would never be? One mistake. One bad day. One moment where I
choose wrong."

He steeples his fingers in front of him. “It has recently occurred to me
that relationships are partnerships. Why not approach them with a logical,
balanced discussion aimed at managing expectations so both parties achieve
a satisfying outcome?”

hmm... uh.....

“But back to you. Come on, Ace. Give me the dirt.”
I sigh, almost wistfully. “We kissed.”
“No way.” He punches the air; not unlike I did a few minutes earlier.
“Atta boy. When?”
“Ten minutes ago.”

I did not know I needed more boy-talk! Love it when the male friends discuss their love's!

"THE MOMENT I GET BACK TO MY OFFICE AND CLOSE THE DOOR, I PUMP MY
fist in triumph. I’m beyond grateful that no one witnessed it."

Nawhh stawp thats so cute!

She blinks, slowly. I push the paper toward her, and when she takes it,
her fingers brush mine—brief, electric, and I nearly forget how to breathe.
“But…you and I are not in a relationship,” she says, voice small, cheeks
flushing the colour of an apple.
“Not yet,” I say, and the words feel impossibly honest when they leave
my mouth. “But we’re going to be.”
“We are?” She’s still on edge.

Damn dude

This book is super cute
