I have my fingers crossed for you, but you don’t need to worry, honey. You’re going to have a spot on the team, and I can’t wait to cheer for you.

GE

I’m crossing my fingers for you too, baby. Imagine us getting to spend time in Italy together? That would be amazing!!

Me

I’m not super hopeful for myself, but never say never!

GE

Pete’s tonight to either celebrate or commiserate?

Me

Can’t wait!

Lainey

It’s a big day in the NHL world! How are you feeling today, Amelia?

Me

Nervous. The likelihood of me making the Olympic coaching staff is doubtful at best, and I’m not trying to get my hopes up.

Sienna

No matter what the league says, you’re a winner in our books!

Me

Thanks, you all.

Lainey

If you don’t get to take the trip to Italy, the three of us should do something together during that break!

Me

That would be fun!

Sienna

We’re not going to have time to do something because she’s going to make the team, dammit.

Me

I appreciate your faith in me <3

Darcy

Morning! Do you have a chance to swing by my office before you head down to practice?

Nothing urgent! Just wanted to run a few things by you!
