Game 81 – Colorado Avalanche's Friday, April 9, 2010 When he got back that night from the game with the Colorado Avalanches, he was all smiles and ready for our date Saturday night. I knew we only had one night, and then they had their last game against the Detroit Red Wings before the playoffs started. We both needed a distraction. "Are you hungry?" he asked, taking me by the hand once we were out of the car, leading me through the doors of the restaurant. Bystanders on the street pointed at him, smiling, doing that forget-my-own-name stare when they realized it was a Chicago Blackhawk who they'd just seen. I kind of laughed. "Yeah, I'm hungry," I said, attempting to be flirtatious. Not sure if it was taken that way, but he did smile at me. He chuckled again when I tripped slightly in my high heels. I swore it was a hill in the floor, but it was merely a rock. Nudging me inside with our joined hands, the waiter showed us to our table in the back that Evan had apparently reserved.
