Chapter 17: Tickets

"We don't need a campaign," Henrik said. "We need a reason to look."

We were sitting on the floor of my apartment at midnight with a laptop between us, and Britt asleep upside down on the couch.

He had taken his brace off to rest the ankle, and his bare foot was in my lap.

I was rubbing it.

I had stopped pretending it was part of a job.

"People don't buy tickets to see thirty skaters and forty hockey players," I said. "They buy tickets to see something that might go wrong."

"Like what?"

"Like you, in sequins."

He stared at me.

"No," he said.

"A bet," I said. "On camera."

"If the Showcase sells three thousand tickets by Friday, the hockey captain spins."

"In front of the whole student union."

"I can't spin. I have a plate."

"A little spin."

"Hanna."

"A small, dignified spin." I pressed my thumb into his arch.
