Chapter 19
Overview
Allie meets Sean, hears his contrition, and rejects his surprise plan to move to Los Angeles with her, definitively ending their relationship. Dean then gives Allie the silent treatment, pushing her to seek him out at a game. She discovers he was ejected, heightening tension and ambiguity in their fragile fling.
Summary
Allie leaves the gym debating whether to face Sean, only to find him waiting at her dorm. She agrees to meet at the Coffee Hut and arrives guarded after a rough rehearsal. Sean apologizes for months of anger, admits fear about his future, and reveals he bought two post-graduation tickets to Los Angeles to follow Allie’s dream.
Allie, no longer in love and firm about moving on, refuses the offer. As Dean texts during the conversation, Sean grows suspicious and angry, but Allie ends the meeting, returns the tickets, and departs without offering friendship.
Over the next day, Dean pointedly ignores Allie’s texts. Frustrated by the silence and needing clarity on their status, Allie goes to Briar’s home game to confront him face-to-face.
Scanning the ice and social media for clues, Allie learns that Dean has been ejected from the game. The discovery leaves her with no answers from him and raises the stakes for their uncertain relationship.
