"Mack, we've all been through this before, it's normal to have a crush every once in a while when you're in a relationship. I know I've been there. The fact that it happened isn't what matters, it's normal, it's healthy. How you handle it is what matters" Coach said. "So what do I do?" I asked. "What are my options?" "Well, I've heard you talk to Ella on the phone before, no offense by this, are you really happy with her? Because that girl seems like she has no respect for you." Lee said. "I love her." I said. "Not what I asked," Lee said. "What did you do in this situation?" I asked coach. "You don't want my answer right now if you're still reflecting on all of this" He said. "I do." I said. He paused. "I reflected, made the decision to end my relationship. But, I had genuine feelings for the other girl, you just met Cubbie, you're not there yet" Coach said, offering me a smile. "Well, how'd it all work out for you?" I asked. "Ask her yourself, she's standing behind you cooking dinner for our kids as we speak" Joe said. Wow that was a lot. I looked back at the door she had just walked out, then looked back at Coach and Lee. "Had a feeling that one would scare you a little bit. "He's not scared, he's reflecting." Lee said, putting emphasis on the word. ⋆˚࿔ TW mentions of: drinking, mental health issues, family issues, and lethal amounts of sarcasm & dark humor

Book 1 of the Quinn Hughes Series ______________________________ ELEANOR GRACE KLEIN has always been a dreamer. Growing up in the heart of Toronto, she was the girl who saw the world in stories, the one who could turn an ordinary moment into something magical. Affectionate, thoughtful, and effortlessly carefree, Eleanor moved through life with a quiet confidence, her intelligence shining in everything she did. When the Hughes brothers moved to Toronto the year she turned thirteen, her world changed forever. From the moment she met them, they became more than just friends-they were family. Through every late-night skate, every backyard game, and every moment in between, the Hughes boys were her safe place, they were the family she never knew that she needed. But as they grow up, Eleanor finds herself tangled in a truth too big to keep to herself. One night, she reveals a secret to Jack-something about his brother that he never saw coming. The fallout is immediate, their bond shattering in an argument neither of them can take back. When the Hughes family moves to Michigan, the distance becomes more than just physical. Calls go unanswered, messages remain unsent, and the once-unbreakable connection between Eleanor and Jack fades into silence. Years later, when fate brings them back into each other's lives, old wounds resurface, and Eleanor must face the truth: some stories don't end the way you expect-but that doesn't mean they're over.
