And I'm okay with that, as long as my nights with hockey players provide me with a taste of true love, something I'm not sure I'll ever find. Where I grew up, there was no happily ever after. But I've got a body that lets me play pretend every once in a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy first night with Barrett transformed me. He cracked the strong facade I worked so hard to build. It was blissful and heartbreaking. I planned on never seeing him again until our one-night changed my life. But when I tried to contact him, when I needed him most, he was callous and cruel. He made it clear he never wanted to hear from me again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarrett\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe was it. Then she snuck out and never left her number. Every bar, every game, everywhere I went I looked for her. It was as if she was the missing piece I didn't even know I'd been looking for. She was empathetic, funny, and smart-and nobody has been able to live up to my Raleigh or make me feel the way she did. I vow that if we ever cross paths again, I'm not letting her out of my sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive years later that day finally comes.
