oh adeline

4th overall.

my parents took the littles to an indoor waterpark for a couple days, i was invited but chose to stay home since i have orders to finish.

am i working right now? no.

why? because the drafts on and lukes expected to be in the top 10.

i saw the live stream at the hughes house, his family is there, his brothers sitting next to him.

i want to text but im sure he nervous and doesn't need me talking to him.

im anxiously waiting for them to start so i cant imagine how luke feels.

luke
you watching?

sunny
wouldnt miss it

luke
wish you were here to celebrate with me

sunny
🫶🏻🫶🏻

i watched the first, second and third place draft picks and then new jerseys logo popped up.

i remembered that thats where jack plays.

and then they called his name.

not only did jack jump & freak out, i did too.

i cheered & cried.

sunny
so proud of you!
cant wait to cheer you on in red

(sent at 1:01am.)

sunny
i just got in bed, whats up?

my phone started ringing telling me luke was facetiming me.

"hey sunny." he said softly. "i cant really see your face."

i giggled, "its late, im sleepy."

"why are you up?"

i yawned, "because i was painting."

"oh." he dragged out.

"but i watched." he smirked.

"you did?"

"yes, you guys looks so excited."

he chuckled, "im playing with jack, i am excited."

"im excited to watch you." i smiled.

i noticed his face, the slight smile because hes trying to hold it in.

"i wish you where here."

"me too." i said.

"did you party hard?" i asked.

"maybe."

we laughed.

"5 weeks til move in day." he said.

"5 weeks til i see you again."

"5 weeks til i can stare at your different colored eyes." he said.

"oh my, your obsession with my eyes is so weird." i joked.

"i love your eyes, theyre so unique. do you hate them?"

"no no, i just, ive been with guys who never noticed them so you noticing them, it meant a lot." i explained.

"im not like other guys."

"eww! yuck! dont say that! thats an ick, gross."

we laughed, "thats my bad."

"so the guy before me he uh-he wasn't good?"

"hes a story for another time."

should i tell him about hayes?

they'll never cross paths.

they'll never see each other.

hayes will just know about luke and how good he is at hockey.

"i see. so the bars low?"

"the bars low." i laughed.

"allow me to raise it sunny girl."

"dude, im trying to sleep and all i can hear is you giggling." a voice said.

"so close your ears." luke said back.

"you close your eyes and go to bed, youve got interviews in the morning."

"quinn go away." luke said.

i could hear the door shut.

"interviews tomorrow?" i asked.

"yeah with the devils." he said.

"oh i look forward to watching them."

"you like looking at me." he said.

i shrugged, "maybe." i said before yawning.

"text me in the morning?" he asked.

"of course, night lukey."

"night sunny." he said before ending the call.
