Sabina's POV- June 2018

If it's something I missed about playing professional hockey was getting my nails done with my teammates.

"Sabina, what color?"

"The red" I answered.

I had suggested to Ali, my dad's girlfriend that we get our nails done. She was a surgeon, so things like these were prohibited but she would be on vacation so you know...it was allowed. The pictures of her engagement ring on would look nice with a manicure. 

"What color are you painting your nails?"

Currently, they were blue.

"Like a pinky nude" I replied.

"To match your dress?"

"Both dresses," I stated.

I would be attending two weddings, back to back. My old teammate was getting married, so I'd be flying to Chicago for the wedding. Dad's plan was to propose to Ali the first night we'd be in Punta Cana. We'd fly home July 5th, and I'd sleep in my own bed and then fly out to Chicago. The only thing that sucked about going to Sweden to visit Adrian was that I would be missing the EPSYs. I had already planned my trip when I got the invitation, and I had to respectfully decline it. My ex-teammates were not too thrilled, but then I told them where I would be and they just said as long as I got laid they'd be okay with it. I swear, they're kinda normal. 

"What color are your dresses?"

"The one I'm wearing to the first wedding is a floral blue, the second one is a pink gown" I answered.

Adrian was a groomsman for the wedding, so he would be wearing grey, and he suggested I wear pink to match his bow tie.

"You need to pick that up from the seamstress, right?"

"Yeah, I was hoping we could go after this?" I questioned.

She nodded.

"Of course we can"

"Great" I answered.

I turned my attention to my nails that were being filed. Normally I would do my own nails, but I needed them to not chip for at least 3 weeks.

"As long as we go eat after"

"Oh for sure, you know I never say no to food," I told her.

-----an hour later----

"I just hope I didn't lose more weight" I admitted as we waited for the seamstress to get the outfits that I had brought to get altered.

Yes, there was more than one outfit. I was losing muscle weight like crazy and had already lost a good 10 lbs.

"You've been doing pilates, and eating a good amount of food"

"Well let's hope I did not gain weight" I stated.

I did not mind the weight gain, but the dress had been altered to fit the body type that I had a week ago.

"Are you trying it on?"

"Yeah, just in case" I answered.

She nodded.

"I'll look up the restaurants nearby"

The seamstress led me to a fitting room where I tried on all my shorts and blouses first. I decided to save the gown till last.

"Well it looks like I maintained my weight, so I should be alright" I noted.

I slipped on the dress and stepped out to ask for help in zipping up the back. Adrian would technically be busy that day, but I was going to get ready with Dani. Her boyfriend was the best man, so he too would be busy. It also gave us time to chat and catch up.
