"We are most alive when we are in love."
— John UpdikeHailey Hughes POV
I just arrived in New Jersey , I'm still in the airport. I pull out my phone and order a Uber to take me to the New Jersey devils practice facility where I'll meet up with my brothers jack and Luke . They're currently at morning skate which happens the morning of a game .
Tonight I'll be going to my first devils game of the season . My twin Jack has started the season off in incredible fashion racking up points left to right . My baby brother Luke is in his rookie season and is doing pretty well for himself .
In the Uber the driver wasn't really the friendly kind so I spent most of the drive texting with Charlotte about the next steps to take . In the next two months Charlotte will start to higher employees and over see the construction of the new bakery .About forty five minutes later I arrive at the practice facility . I walk up to the front desk and greet the nice looking women doing her job . " hi I'm Hailey Hughes my brothers are Jack and Luke here's my I'd " " oh hi you're brothers talk about you all the time here's a visitor pass " " is it ok if I leave my suitcase with you I just came from the airport . " " yes of course no problem sweetheart."
I just made it near the ice and sat down on one of the bleachers jack and Luke haven't noticed me yet . After a few minutes my brothers captain and our friend Nico Hischier notices me and waves which I reply with a big smile and wave . At that point both my brothers and several of their teammates see me and wave also before going back to skating .
Thirty minutes later the boys are done with morning skate I head back out towards the lobby to grab my suitcase and wait for them. Most of the time I was waiting I spent texting with Matty . I can't wait to see him on Tuesday I miss him so much . I really need to get my feelings under wrap though .
Before I could dwell on these thoughts more I was lifted off the ground by my twin and spun in circles in a tight hug . " I missed you I missed you I missed you sooo much squish " " put me down Jacky " I say giggling .
