The world in Sam's dreams: they live together, they sleep together, they fall asleep together, they wake up together, they eat breakfast together, they shower together they nap together, they eat dinner together, they play hockey together, they win together, they go home together, together, together, together, together. Together.
The real word: Sam is in Edmonton, John is in Long Island. Both of their teams are hanging in ninth place, almost there, just not quite good enough, not yet, but there's still a month left. The play offs are still a possibility, maybe. Maybe not. But maybe.
Eventually it will be summer, and then they'll get to be together, except not really, not all the time. In the summer they can be more together than in the season but there's still separation, personal space and public lies. But the summer is better

I really enjoyed this. I particularly liked the "they're together because they say they're together, they get to define what together means" lines. And that even though it's not easy, they're making it work and still in love because it makes me smile.
This is very simple and sweet. The concept of togetherness is expressed in such a simple but real way, and the idea of it as a choice and "a promise" more than a physical presence or anything else, I just really like that.
