She looked at me with such concern, her pale cheeks flush with anxiousness. Crossing her legs as she sat with them dangling over the table, she took a breath. Behind her eyes, fear spat yet a glimmer of hope slithered through, allowing me to seek slight comfort within her gaze. I imagined her the night before, sitting at her computer hesitantly hovering the mouse over the send button of her email to me, chewing her narrow finger nails until they were red raw. She knew I didn't like to talk about anything other than work, but she also knew that something wasn't quite right. My homework was sloppy or sometimes even incomplete. A few words scrawled along a crumpled up piece of paper, completely unlike me. No timekeeping skills, strolling in fifteen minutes late with not even a Sorry plastered across my lips. Hair Unbrushed and equipment lost within the pit of my bag. Falling in and out of slumber against the cold brick wall that laid between me and my desk. Something was wrong, but I didn't want her to know that the problem I had was her . I did not want to tell her that I'd fallen in so deep for her that I couldn't even function as myself. She knows something, but I don't think she's quite ready to find out what is actually going on with me. Teacher / student relationship book

𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐑𝐒𝐬 𝐰𝐒𝐟𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭. Emerald Sawyer has always been my home. She saw something in me when everyone else saw a hockey goon who could barely read. When the world called me stupid, she called me capable. Her faith built me in ways my father's cruelty never could. Now I'm Hayden "Haymaker" Sawyer-the league's most feared enforcer. My violence goes viral. My fists pay the bills. Every hit, every fight, every autograph, every deal-I told myself I was doing it all for her. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing what it was costing our marriage. I let my agent handle the business so I could focus on the game. I ignored the threats and harassment. The fans who hated her simply for being mine. When Emerald tried to show me how cruel it had gotten, I told her it didn't matter. That I would always keep her safe. I was wrong. The losses piled up. The fans turned vicious. My temper snapped, and with one ugly moment, I pushed away the only person who has ever truly loved me. Then, while I was smiling for the cameras, my wife was brutally attacked by a fan wearing my jersey. Now I see everything too late. I want blood from every single person who touched her. And the deeper I dig, the clearer it becomes that none of this was random. My agent, Rick Fox, has been pulling the strings for far too long. I'll do whatever it takes to bring down the people who came for my wife, earn back the woman I love, and prove that this time, I won't fail her again. Because Emerald Sawyer is my home, my heart, my everything.
