Worse. This one told me he was going to the bathroom, but instead he hunted down our waitress to change my order because I didn’t order what he recommended.

What he recommended had cashews in the sauce, but what’s a little anaphylaxis between friends?

Sophie

Holy shit, My, are you okay?

Maya

Yeah, I caught it before I ate it, so the EpiPen stayed in my purse, but it was a little too close for comfort.

I think maybe it’s time I dipped my toe into the playboy athlete pool and gave up on finding The One.

Emmy

You know football isn’t the only professional sport in the city. We have an in with a team full of hockey players that not one single one of us has taken advantage of and that’s just sad.

Sarah

He Who Shall Not Be Named had a hockey playing brother, and the smell of that gear put me off hockey players forever. Pass.

Emmy

Are you sure it was the smell of the gear and not the fact that He Who Shall Not Be Named is king of the assholes who will be forever dead to us?

Sarah

It was years ago. I’m over it. Wishing anyone dead is bad karma.

Me

Well I’m not over it. He’s deader than dead to me.

Sophie

Same.

Maddy

Absolutely same.

Maya

I mean, obviously same, but the fighting in hockey is so fucking sexy. I think I could overlook a whole lot for a guy who drops his gloves and just…goes for it like that.

Me

I don’t know. I can’t help but wonder what they have to be so angry about. Men already have it easy, and those guys are being paid millions of dollars to hit a puck around.

Why is it such a big deal if someone fights their goalie? Professional sports are weird.

Maddy

And yet that didn’t stop you from going home with Drew after the game last week.
