Tyler sat at the foot of my bed while I looked at my phone, the patio doors wide open as he looked into the garden, watching as birds are from the bird feeder that hung from one of the many trees. We hadn't spoke much since he got here, both of us not having much to say after the game last night. We beat them pretty easily, they really didn't put up a fight and they all knew that. The first and second game were in Toronto and I was kind of glad, I wasn't really feeling like getting a flight to Dallas.

"Did you ever get the guy who broke into your house?" Tyler asked and I glanced up from my phone to see him still looking into the garden. I placed my phone to the side and made my way to the bottom of my bed, laying on my stomach and looking out into the garden with him.

"No, the police couldn't do much, I didn't have any security cameras or anything. There was no reason anyone would be after me, so i was just guessing it was a hit on an expensive looking house. I'm still sad I don't have the necklace though, that's really the only thing that matters." I shrugged and Tyler nodded slowly.

"Maybe it'll show up, whoever stole it might have a change of heart." He said and I smiled at his hopeful tone. We lay in silence for a few moments, both of us staring out into my garden before Tyler broke it. "You've changed a lot since you left, it's a good thing, but sometimes I miss you, I miss my Daisy." He said quietly and I looked at him. I gently got off of the bed and sat by him, bringing my knees up to my chest as I looked at him, he kept his gaze focused out of the doors and I sighed.

"I've had to grow some thick skin since moving, with the whole Kappy situation then all our drama. It's enough to change a person." I said and he looked at me with a sad smile. "But I'll always be Daisy." I said and he looked at me for a few moments. After what had happened the past few weeks, the only thing I wanted was a hug, someone to love me, I was getting lonely, sad. So when Tyler closed the space between us, pressing his lips to my own, I let my hands get tangled in his hair. I re positioned myself on his lap and he let his hands rest of my face as he kissed me passionately. But our kiss was cut short by my doorbell.

"Let down by the Bell, am I right?" He joked as we made our way downstairs and I just rolled my eyes and chuckled at his joke. When I opened the door I was met by Morgan, Auston, Kappy, Goat, Mitch, Naz and Tavs. All of the guys looked from me to Tyler, our swollen lips and his messy hair really giving away the whole situation.

"Hey guys." I said leaving the door open for them to come in as I made my way to the kitchen. Tyler smirked and poked my side making me squirm and hit his arm. The guys all shared a smirk except for Kappy who stared after me.

"Mitch dropped your coffee on the way in on the side walk." Tavs said quickly before moving away from Mitch who went to punch his arm, I laughed and shook my head as Tyler went to talk to Goat and Naz who were playing air hockey.

"It was an accident and really it was Naz's fault for rushing past me!" Mitch exclaimed flopping down next to me and Naz looked at him offended.

"There was a cat! You can't expect me to just ignore it!" He replied and I just kept laughing, not being able to contain myself at both of their dumb asses. Auston flopped back on the arm chair while Kappy sat at the other end of the sofa. Tavs and Morgan went outside to look around at the new decking I had gotten done for the summer.

"How're you feeling about tomorrow?" Mitch asked after Tyler and Goat cheered after scoring against Naz. I just shrugged and smiled at Tyler who danced to non-existent music.

"I've got faith in us, of course I do. I really think we've got this." I said and Auston nodded along with Mitch, while Kappy just stared at Tyler.

"Have you and Tyler talked about what's gonna have if we win or if they win?" Auston asked and I looked at him and chuckled.

"Nothing will change. He's still coming to Toronto to stay in the summer and I'm still going with the guys to the Canary Islands." I said with a shrug and the guys all nodded. After a while of lounging around and talking about our off season plans, Naz, Goat and Tyler gave up with air hockey and sat with us. Tyler throwing himself down on the sofa beside me.

"Did you see what Don Cheery's been saying about you after how you acted after the game against the Canes?" Morgan asked from the door and I looked at him confused.

"The one where I broke my stick?" I asked and he nodded quickly. I groaned and rolled my eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"Well, basically, during coach's corner, he went on a complex side rant about you and how you acted inappropriately and as much as he hated the Canes, he thinks you acted in an un- professional fashion and you shouldn't have done something like that." Morgan said with a big smile and I just stared at him in complete shock before letting a smile play on my lips.

"Oh shit." Tyler said and I just pulled out my phone and Kappy looked at Tyler confused.

"What?" He asked almost angrily, which none of us picked up on. Tyler just peeked over my shoulder and held his hand over his mouth. Within seconds my tweet was sent and I had absolutely no regrets.
