Three years after I kissed Andre Moreau on Centre Court, we have a life. A flat in South Kensington. A love I thought nothing could break. Then he breaks it. One confession. One night he can't take back. And suddenly the man I built my entire world around is someone I don't recognize. I leave.

One of the hardest lessons I've learned is that the only thing I need is hockey—because hockey has never let me down, never abandoned me.
