Word of advice: don’t come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they’re charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help.
My family believe I can’t be happy if I’m not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name.
I really should’ve asked for his name.
Lennon:
Word of advice: learn how to introduce yourself properly.
In my defense, I don’t recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey.
I’m not supposed to see him again, and he’s never supposed to find out I’m a reporter.
That all changes when my editor reassigns me.
It’s a lesson I should’ve learned by now. Nothing’s changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret.

Let's all ignore the light me plowing through this series sheds on my current mental health, thanks! This was my favourite one so far, surprisingly! Not only did the characterisations get better once more, but these two I really liked and their banter was adorable. The miscommunication wasn't too bad, the amount of and handling of community politics also wasn't the worst in this series - the "you don't need to out yourself" point was hammered home in a convincing manner and when the narrative (inevitably...) lead to that point anyway, tremendous focus was put on the reasoning for it and the character's agency in the process... also that moment of solidarity got me good. Ah yes, this one's set in the sport of hockey, if anyone truly wonders about this??? CNs: public outing, past relationship with power imbalance gets talked about, the fake dating comes into play in a family context, one might argue there's questionable journalism ethics, but I don't think so? Like, the journalist handles that pretty professionally, I'd say.
