She had no idea that returning home and finding out that Colton was engaged would hurt her so much. She had no idea if he'd ever love her again. She had no idea if it would ever return to the way it used to be. • • • "The Way It Used To Be" is a dual perspective story told from different points of view over the course of twelve years in the lives of two best friends who just happened to fall in love.

When Ella Gillard finds her high school sweetheart across the country and in bed with another girl during her freshman year, she makes a promise to herself to never date another hockey player--no matter how tempting it may be. Law school is complicated enough without the distraction of a relationship. But her plan proves to be difficult when she's met with the very persuasive goalie of the Fenton Falcons. Fenton University's hockey team is full of pre-game rituals, and their starting goaltender, Hendrix Tate, is as superstitious as they come. When the team's losing streak is broken after he finds Ella's bracelet minutes before a vital mid-season game, Hendrix is adamant on keeping his good luck charm around. Especially with his position being threatened by the team's new pickup. The question is will Ella break her promise to herself or shut him out?
