Violet Granger pushed on the changing room door with her
cumbersome costumed hands. Locked. She angled her head back to
aim the costume’s eye holes at the number on the door. She’d left
her street clothes in an even-numbered room.
At least she was pretty certain she had. After an hour of running around
out in the hockey arena to get used to the bulky green and black dragon
costume, she was a sweaty, frustrated mess.
Tempted to pull off the massive head so she could see and breathe better
—even though that was supposedly forbidden outside the changing room—
she waddled farther down the hallway, her dragon tail wagging after her.
She’d nearly died approximately five and a half times during this first
in-costume practice out in the stands. The Dragons NHL team was in the
process of hiring her a handler—which until today she hadn’t believed
she’d truly need. But after falling down steps, getting her tail caught in
elevator doors and knocking into the rows of seating, she was fully on
board with enlisting as many handlers as possible so she wouldn’t make the
news by dying in a dragon costume during a live NHL game.
Although maybe that would finally get Owen Lancaster’s attention.
She snorted. No. No thinking about Owen. She was over him. Stupid
one-sided crush and his revived major league baseball career taking him
away from Sweetheart Creek—and her. She’d finally felt she was getting
somewhere with her shy flirting. And then he’d left.
Men always left—whether she was close to summoning the courage to
ask one out, or they were standing at the altar about to say “I do.” Or, in her
ex-fiancé’s case, “I don’t.”
This costume was part of a plan. An important, break-the-curse and heal
her spirit kind of plan.
But the curse… Her grandmother had been left with three young
toddlers in Korea when her husband announced he was going to
Hollywood, and that it was no place for a nice Korean woman.
Then, years later, Violet’s mother had been left by her husband when a
beautiful younger version had come along. A singer. Bold and gregarious.
Loved to entertain.
Very unlike her loyal, quiet mom.
Violet herself had been left enough times to know she had to do
something different—had to be someone different—in order to change the
fate that had been handed to her by some cranky Korean gods her greatgrandmother had allegedly snubbed by running away instead of accepting
the husband chosen for her by her community.
And no, none of the woman in her family had given their partner a pair
of shoes, which was a Korean superstition. Give them shoes, watch them
run away from you. Although Violet wondered if there was an opposite
superstition her mom hadn’t told her about. Maybe one where you gave
your partner something like an anchor to make them stay.
But this dragon costume? It was a method, according to an online pop
psychologist, to help Violet break out of her shyness in a safe way.
