Chapter 10

The day of the Eagles gig arrived so Sidney and I decided that we would make a day of it. We went out for lunch and had a look around before we made our way to Niagara for the gig. Right enough we were the very front row with a perfect view, the whole gig was amazing and just like every other time I had seen them they finished with my favourite song… Desperado…!

We drove home discussing our favourite parts of the gig and singing all our favourite songs, everything seemed perfect but I knew when I dropped him off that once again I would be on my own. As we pulled up to his house we talked and I reached out to move the stray curl again as I looked into his eyes I suddenly realised that I could not do this anymore, I told him I needed to get home as we had an early start.

I went and parked round the corner and cried until my tears ran dry.

It was time for the last big road trip of the season before play off time. For the 3^rd year running it was looking as if Pittsburgh Penguins were going to make the Stanley cup playoffs and as it stands at the moment we are leading in points for the whole of the NHL, we were having a great season. We have not lost a game since the turn of the year and no one has managed to put a goal past Marc-Andre since the end of January.
