Brayden
Send help!
I think I might be falling in love.
Jude
Now I owe Cody a tenner sad face emoji Couldn’t you have waited another week to announce it to everyone?
Seriously though. Love you and I’m proud of you whatever happens.

Camden
You only *think* you might be falling in love?
Brayden
I’ve never done this before. I don’t know what it feels like.
Cosmo
Should I be offended that you didn’t tell us you met someone?
I thought we were friends! crying emoji
Brayden
We are friends, bellend middle finger emoji
Camden
So, what’s the issue? Do you not want to have feelings for this person?
Brayden
No, I do, but he lives an hour away. His family owns a ranch, and I met him during the offseason when I was running away from my life and my car broke down.
Cosmo
A COWBOY?!
Like with a horse and everything?
Brayden
A horse and chaps, Cosmo. Fucking CHAPS!
Cosmo
shocked face emoji
Camden
Ah, so the issue is you live a very busy life, and so does he, and you’re worried how it’s going to work.
Brayden
Nailed it!
I saw him this weekend for the first time after seven weeks. But now the season has started, I’m heading on road trips and have a game every other night.
I don’t know when I’m going to be able to see him again until like, Christmas, then the two week break in February, and I can’t exactly ask him to drop his responsibilities to come stay with me.
Camden
That does sound really tough. Is he supportive of you?
Brayden
100%. More than I expected him to be considering I didn’t tell him I play hockey.
Camden
…
You didn’t tell him?
Brayden
No, he found out when he watched the first game against Edmonton last week.

Brayden
I was in a really shit place when we met. You know, with the media being a bunch of dickwads and everyone hating me. Then my car broke down and this big sexy mountain man came to my rescue and I just wanted to pretend everything else didn’t exist for a while.
Camden
And he wasn’t mad when he found out?
Brayden
Nope. Just kissed me and told me he understood why I didn’t say anything.
Cosmo
MARRY HIM!
Camden
Okay, that’s a little fast, but I’ve got to admit, he sounds like a really great guy.
Brayden
He is smiling face with hearts emoji
Jude
My brother’s got it baaaad. Even worse than me with Cody.
Happy for you bro. Call me tomorrow to catch me up with everything. Oh and you can help me talk Cody into wearing a cowboy hat smirking emoji
Brayden
Absolutely not.
