0.6 mission in progress

❝Jake Guentzel, but uh I believe you're Emilia Thompson.

First girl to be chosen for the entry draft

and make it this far in the NHL.❞

"Well looks like you've done your research." Emilia countered while looking up at him.

"You could say I'm a big fan. Now what's so great about me that had your eyes practically bulging out of their sockets?" He had asked

"Well I mean how could I forget game three of the first round where you scored a hat trick that had put us up three games in the series." Emilia stated with a know it all look.

"Us?" He asked with confusion.

"Born and raised in Pittsburgh. You could say I'm a die hard fan." She said with a shrug.

"That explains a lot." Jake said as the elevator doors opened to reveal the lobby. As they went to part their ways Emilia had totally forgot about what she originally wanted to ask him.

"Wait!" She had tried not to yell, so she didn't attract attention. He turned back to look at her with a confused expression.

"Look I know I'm going off on a limb, but I've had this whole idea that throughout my rookie season I wanted to make my presence known and actually be mutual wth some of the players so uh..." Emilia trailed off not knowing how to word what she wanted to say.

"Here." He said while handing her his phone, "I'm assuming your goal is to get everyone's numbers to stay in contact."

"You could say that's what I want to do so thanks for understanding." She said as she handed his phone back to him.
