Wow! On the biggest day of my career? That stings, Everett.

GE

Bet it got you to smile, didn’t it?

AG

No comment :)

AG

It’s late, and I miss you.

GE

Hi. I miss you too.

AG

You’re awake?

GE

Tweaked my hamstring at practice today, and it makes getting comfortable very difficult. I have a pillow propped up under my leg.

AG

Oh no. Are you going to be okay?

GE

Totally fine. Lexi worked her athletic trainer magic. When I complained about the pain, she told me she took Riley from barely being able to walk with his prosthetic to playing in the AHL.

“You’ll survive” she said.

She’s not wrong.

AG

I like Lexi.

I need to have another dinner with her, Piper, and Emmy.

GE

And Madeline, Hudson’s girlfriend. The girl gang keeps growing!

I’d find a way to crash that party when it happens, by the way.

AG

They all love you, so I’m sure they wouldn’t mind.

Want to FaceTime?
