CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Kaden
Kaden took one last look up at Ali before the period started, but instead of a bashful smile or the nervous glance that he expected, what he saw was much more concerning. She looked a bit green before she tore off up the steps and into the concession area of the arena. Maybe it was her morning sickness acting up, or something she ate. Worry and concern filled his gut, but the whistle blew and he needed to focus on the game.
The team was still losing by one, and the guys looked tired. Even with Coach Walker’s “never give up” speech during the intermission, the guys had no gusto to their play. From his vantage point in net, Kaden noted Tyler and Kris trying to rally the team. Pat and Sam were stepping up too, passing, making big hits, and taking any shot they could.
