Cale Makar – “I’m too sober for this.” “You don’t even drink.” “Maybe I should start.”
-
It seemed silly to be waiting amongst the families at the airport, waiting for the team to touch down; to reunite with them after their time in Edmonton.
“I’m too sober for this,” you said, tapping your foot nervously.
“You don’t even drink,” Courtney said back with a soft scoff.
You sighed, “Maybe I should start.”
“You’re the most dramatic person I’ve ever met.”
“It just feels like a bad idea.”
Courtney wrapped her arm around your shoulders and held you tight. It did little to ease your nerves.
So many thoughts had run through your head since you jumped in Courtney’s car on a whim, most of them negative because you don’t stop second guessing yourself. Your relationship with Cale had barely even begun before he was shipped off to the Bubble. Sure, you’d been FaceTiming a lot in his absence, but it felt like far too much to be standing with his teammates long-term partners and children.
“I’m gonna be sick,” you said dramatically as the players started to disembark. Courtney gave you a quick shake.
Watching the reunions was heartwarming and distracted you somewhat. Matt got closer and Courtney let you go so that she could greet her husband. Your eyes followed the players as they appeared, always locking on the small children who were racing around to greet their fathers.
A loud thump filled your ears and you turned just in time to see Cale’s chest getting closer to your face. His arms wrapped around you, his face instantly burying into your hair as you buried yours into his chest.
“I didn’t know you were going to be here,” he sighed.
“Do you not want me to be?” you asked sheepishly.
“I’m so happy you’re here.”
