Once I knew this girl who sent a video of herself to her brother's best friend… while she was hopped up on pain meds. And he didn’t reciprocate her feelings.

Sounds like a hilarious story, right?
WRONG. This really happened to ME, Melanie Taylor.

That was five years ago, so I’m over it—over him. Or I thought I was… until West got traded to the D.C. Eagles and moved to the same city as me.

(Oh, did I forget to mention my brother’s best friend is Weston Kershaw? A famous professional hockey player?)

Of course, I set out to avoid him completely, but end up going to one of his games—against my will, I might add. When I have to face him again, all of those stupid butterflies in my stomach return full force.

Except this time, the attraction doesn’t feel so one-sided.
