Rinkside Stories

Meet Anastasia Bexley (23) and Ethan Thorne (26). He skates the ice, she takes the pictures. However, this isn't how they met. Anastasia (Stass/Stassi) has been best friends with Ethan's little sister Maddie since they met in 3rd grade. Meaning that to Ethan, Stassi has always been strictly off limits to him, despite how attractive he finds her. He never used to view her that way, but ever since he came back from college to see 18 year old Stassi, he's seen her in a different light. Ethan is a professional hockey player so he's used to female attention, but he doesn't want it from anyone else but her. Between Stassi and Ethan, they have a joking relationship, it's clear Ethan likes her, but she's too nonchalant to admit anything. Plus, she knows a relationship with Ethan, would mean a chance of ruining her friendship with Maddie. When Stassi finished her marketing degree, she found it hard to find work. But when Ethan's ice hockey team "Boston Strikers" needed a social media manager, he knew just the right person. Also, a little extra time with Stassi wouldn't be an issue for him...
