Winning the Cup doesn't compare to winning a kiss from Summer Gunderson.
Christopher
After I scored the game-winning goal to win the Stanley Cup, I got a congratulatory email from Summer Gunderson that dared me to hope in a way I haven't in years. She was my first love and the girl I've never been able to forget.
When I go back to Minnesota for my day with the Stanley Cup, Summer is there, every step of the way, covering it for our town newspaper. While everyone is focusing on me, I'm focusing on her, because of one simple, unending, truth: if Summer is in the room I can't take my eyes off her.

I haven't seen Christopher since we parted ways all those years ago, but now he's back for his day with the Cup and I've heard he's going to stay a little while. When he lifts it up over his head to the deafening sound of our hometown crowd, he ignores everyone and looks directly at me as he mouths the word, "Hi."
There's no way that we can go back to how it was between us before everything went wrong, but damn it's so good to see him. I just hope he didn't read the embarrassing email I sent him the night he scored that winning goal.
