Breakaway: A Coach’s Daughter College Sports Romance (Beyond the Play)

October 29th

RED PENNY

It’s really cool that you’re buying Ryan’s equipment

I’m so glad his mom agreed to sign him up for the team

He deserves the best

That’s sweet

My uncle bought me my first pair of skates

I was wondering how you got into hockey, given your dad and all

Yeah, it was my Uncle Blake. Haven’t seen him in a while, but he taught me how to skate, took me to my first game

Why haven’t you seen him?

It’s a long story, but basically, he’s struggled with addiction. He’s out in California, has been most of my life

🙁 I’m sorry

Have you gotten in touch with him yourself?

My dad would lose his shit if I did

I guess skating was always in the cards for you

Between the hockey coach father and the professional figure skater mother? Yes, there was some inevitability

October 31st

I can’t believe that I have to be at UMass for Halloween. The universe is punishing me

RED PENNY

You specifically?

It must be cosmic payback for last season

That’s awful philosophical of you

I can’t even drink after the game b/c my room is next to your dad’s

LMAO that’s hilarious

The real tragedy is it means we can’t have phone ?!

What’s that favorite word of yours?

Oh, yes. Incorrigible

You’re incorrigible

But you’re right, that sucks. Guess you’ll just have to imagine me using my new toy 😉

LUCKY PENNY

Thanks for convincing me to go to office hours… I think I finally understand pathogenesis

That’s great

Do you want to hang out later? Your dad cancelled practice?

I’m home right now, he’s sick so I brought him some soup

Oh, okay

I hope he feels better soon

But I’ll see you tomorrow?

Ryan is so pumped we’re coming to his game

I still can’t get over how excited he was when you taught him how to skate backwards

November 8th

LUCKY PENNY

All I’m saying is that they could have made the orcs a little less disgusting

I’m going to have nightmares, Coop!

You never call me Coop

Also, your words were “why aren’t the orcs sexy” PENELOPE

You never call me Penelope

If you saw a romance novel orc, you would understand

Mmm, overbite ;P

You’re a freak

You are too. A wet dream where I had elf ears? Callahan, please.

Excuse you, I thought we agreed to drop that

…

We agreed to drop that, right? Right, Red?

November 11th

PENNY

Mia is hooking up with some guy she met on Tinder… pray for my ears

?! instead?

Three days too long for you?

I have a game tomorrow…

You need to pick me up

And I’m bringing Mark Antony

I still can’t believe you let Mia name your new friend

See you in fifteen
