“She moved. How can I make that better?”
“Distance doesn’t matter, especially if you love her, and I’m assuming you love her.”
I nod. “Even when I thought she hurt me, I never stopped loving her. Never.”
“Then there’s your answer. She might not live here now, but that shouldn’t stop you. If you want your girl back, then get her back.”

I pace my apartment,trying to get the courage to make a phone call. But I’m chickening out, so scared as to what would happen . . .
Silas:I can’t do this.
Posey:Yes, you can.
Pacey:We went over this. You want her, go get her.
Hornsby:Coming from experience, if you love her, don’t let her go.
Holmes:You won’t feel right until you do.
Silas:I hate that you’re all right.
Posey:So execute the phone call and text us after. I’m frothing at the mouth for an update.
On a deep breath, I dial the number and bring the phone to my ear. Sweat builds up in my palm, and I hold my breath when the phone is answered.
“Hello?”
“JP?” I ask. “It’s Silas Taters.”
“Aah, I’ve been expecting your call. Let me guess, you’re ready to join The Jock Report?”
“Something like that,” I say. “I think I need your help. I’m in LA in two days. Think you can help me win my girl back?”
“I thrive for moments like this. I’m in.”

Ross:You know, the Agitators are in town if you want to go catch a game.
Ollie:I think you know the answer to that.
Ross:If you want to have dinner with Ian to catch up, I can let him know.
Ollie:You know I love him, but I don’t think I’m ready to see any hockey player.
Ross:He’ll be sad, but I’m sure he’ll understand. Did I tell you that he asked me to move into his place?
Ollie:NO! That’s so exciting. Are you going to do it?
Ross:I told him I was slightly apprehensive since I have the dorm and I don’t want to lose that, you know just in case something happens between us, but he said I could keep it and he wouldn’t be insulted. He understands the need for security.
Ollie:You found yourself a good one. So, is that a yes, then?
Ross:It’s a yes. I’m moving in this weekend when they return from their away trip.
