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.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(30 25 21 1)>My 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.</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(30 25 21 1)><u>Barrett</u></strong></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(30 25 21 1)>She 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.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(30 25 21 1)>Five years later that day finally comes. After a spontaneous meet and greet with a new Minnesota Lakes sponsor and there she is more beautiful than ever. And this time she has a four-year-old son.</span></p>
