Brit
My teammate’s first game back after his life-changing injury was a
huge success.
But the impromptu wedding at center ice meant that the game
hadn’t started on time.
Which meant that it hadn’t ended on time either.
And I still had to do my post-game routine—making sure I keep up with
my conditioning, my strength training.

My rehab.
And, honestly, I don’t mind getting home late.
Roxie will already be asleep, so I won’t miss out on time with my
daughter.
It also means less time in an empty bed, staring at the ceiling and trying
to figure out how I’d managed to so thoroughly fuck up my life.
Well, not all my life.
My daughter is awesome. The team is doing great. It’s just —
Stefan—my husband—has been distant lately.
Cold and unreachable.

Well, honestly…
That distance has been around much longer than lately.
Empty beds. Not coming to the team’s home games. Missing meals.
Just…distant.
And every time I try to talk to him about it, we end up in a fight. Me
frustrated because he’s not talking to me. Him frustrated because I’m
pushing.

Sighing, I hit the button to close the garage door, waiting until it shuts
completely before I unlock the door into the house and step inside.
Then pause as I wait for my eyes to adjust to the darkness.
No under-cabinet lights left on for me in the kitchen, their soft glow
illuminating my walk down the hall, making sure I don’t trip over a stray
toy or shoe or jacket or mini hockey stick or ballet tutu or karate belt from
my tiny crazy, wants-to-do-every-activity little human.

I don’t have that now.
I may not ever have it again.
I sigh, hang up my coat, then toe off my shoes and shove them into the
rack before padding into the kitchen.
Dark.

Quiet.
I need water, a snack, and then to sleep so I’ll be rested enough to get up
with my rambunctious kiddo.
Which will likely happen far too early tomorrow—er—this morning.
Stretching a hand across the wall, I hit the switch to turn on those undercabinet lights.
Then gasp, clamping a hand to my throat.

Stefan is sitting on one of our barstools, elbows resting on the island.
Silent. Staring at me. After having sat in the dark for who knows how long.
“Hey,” I manage to push past my pounding pulse, my suddenly tight
throat.
Where had the warmth in his eyes gone?

Had it just disappeared one day?
Or had it slowly, incrementally just faded away, slipping from his blue
irises like grains of sand in an hourglass, so slowly that I hadn’t noticed?
Not until that hourglass was empty.
Not until his eyes had transformed from Caribbean warm waters into…
ice.

He doesn’t reply—not to my gasp, not to my greeting. And he doesn’t
take me close, lips curving as he nuzzles my throat, drawing me against the
warm, strong expanse of his chest, whispering a soft apology in my ear for
startling me before complimenting me on the game.
Before taking me up to bed, exhausting me in other, more pleasurable
ways.
