"I think I heard it all firsthand. I don't need you to explain anything."
"Brynn, please stop. I don't love her… I love you, and we were broken up when she and I were together. You can't hold that against me."
My feet increase the speed. In heels, I'll never outpace him, but I can try.
"How about when you two were working out your little Australia vacation? Were we together when you hatched your plan to break up with me so that you could sleep with her?"
He doesn't answer right away and now I know the truth.
He may or may not have physically cheated on me while we were together… I'd prefer not to know at this point anyway, but he was unfaithful by making plans with another woman while we were still together. The woman who was in his bed when he called and was whispering in the bathroom, was her. The time I heard her show up to her apartment to "work" was all a lie.
"Brynn, we can fix this. I don't love her."
I see a taxi that has its vacant sign on, and I wave it down.
It pulls quickly to the curb, and I open the door.
"That's inconvenient for you since it sounds like you have a baby on the way. Good luck with your life. I'll have a moving company deliver your things to your office. Goodbye, Daniel," I say, and then I slip into the cab, pulling the door behind me.
"Brynn!" I hear him call out, but the cab is already back on route and headed for the destination I give the driver.
"The Hawkeyes stadium, please."
Chapter Thirty
Brynn
Staring down at the stadium below me with my ticket clenched in my hand, my eyes immediately shoot to the goalie on the home team.
The game is already well into the first period, and the score is tied one to one.
From this distance, I can't make out any of Seven's features except for the layers of padding covering every inch of his six-foot-five body.
I watch as the players all skate full force toward him, an opposing player makes a shot, but Seven blocks it, and the stadium erupts in cheers with a few boos from the away team fans.
Now the home team has the puck and starts skating as hard as they can in the opposite direction.
I start to ease my way down the stadium stairs, looking for Cammy.
I check the ticket for the row and find it says Row 1.
We must be close to the plexiglass.
Right before I get to the Row, I see Cammy sitting in her seat with an open one next to her, wearing a Wrenley jersey. This is the first time in my life that I've ever wanted to wear someone's jersey. To wear someone's name on my back as if he owns me and I own him.
Cammy jumps out of her seat, cheering, and high-fives all the fans sitting around her when the Hawkeyes get one past the opposing team's goalie.
She must feel my eyes on her because just as she's about to sit down, she looks up and her eyes connect with mine.
She squeals with excitement seeing me coming down the stairs, but I can barely hear it over the roaring of the crowd as everyone besides us is watching the game.
"You came," I see her mouth more than I hear the words.
I shrug as I make it to the last step.
"Excuse us, can you let her in?" Cammy asks of the people standing in our row, not seeing me walk up.
They all smile and step back towards their seats.
