I shook my head. “Rather not push her away any further. She’s like an animal in the woods. You need to approach slowly and show you’re not going to hurt them, or they run.”

Power Play had $2,754.93 left in the budget to make placements. We would enter the new year without a carryover, and we’d have to start from scratch with fundraising.
Everything we were doing was no longer working. Our current fundraisers pulled in less and less each year, and the events always seemed to fall through at the last minute due to a lack of volunteers, not enough interest, or some other pitiful reason.
It was like everyone had forgotten about Power Play. The program used to have a surplus of funds remaining, entering the new year with a twenty-thousand-dollar carryover. They had so much equipment, they didn’t know what to do with it all.

What about hockey boy? Could he help?
Me
Don’t think so.
Ali
Wouldn’t hurt to ask. ;-)
Me
Go away, I have work to do.
Ali
You texted me!
I closed the message from my roommate and scrolled down to the message from Zach I hadn’t answered. I hadn’t even saved his number in my phone.
Saving his number asZach – AHL,I navigated back to the message and read it again. Then again. Then I typed out a response and sent it before I could second guess myself.
