After his recent dinner with Andrew, he realized how long it had been since four hockey friends had gotten together. Jonathan fixed that with the creation of a group chat and they had agreed upon meeting for lunch. He had made the phone call, getting them a reservation at the Pizza Express. 

The day had arrived and Jonathan made sure he locked the front door of his apartment and headed towards the restaurant, deciding that he could walk. It wasn't long before he had his hand on the door handle, pulling it towards him to enter the building. There seemed to be a few people in front of him so he didn't mind waiting. Once he made it to the front, he spoke with the hostess. She picked up a few menus and headed towards their table. He took a seat facing towards the front so that he could keep an eye out for the three others. 

He was able to order a pitcher of water for the table and pulled out his phone, answering the text messages he hadn't answered during the course of the day.

News must have traveled fast that he was back in town, but given that only a month earlier across all the televisions in North America everyone witnessed Leon Jager's team lose - again - in the conference championship, it was probably easy to guess that he was back in Hickstead to be with his girlfriend, Cassie McLellan. And while the loss had been a little over a month old now, the man could not help but to still be a little bitter over it. The better team had one that day, yet Leon could not help but to still be plagued by whether or not he could have done something more, something better. Poor Cassie had been putting up with his bouts of annoyance at himself, and as understanding as she was, he knew better than to push his luck with her much longer - it was time to move on.

The hockey bros text coming alive with the prompt of getting together couldn't have come at a better time and it had certainly been a while since the group of them had gotten together. Leon felt like he was always the odd one out, not close to retirement by a long shot so he was missing out more on the get together due to his wild schedule. But just like he did with Cassie, the man always made sure to make up for it in the summer. Today would be no different. The 'war stories' of the past were always fun to listen to, and it was nice to hang out with his friends. Plus, their hangouts were always good to break up his time with Cassie so that he didn't get on her nerves. While they had long figured out the long distance relationship, the move back in together each summer always took a few weeks of adjustment.

Saying goodbye to Rocket, he texted Cassie to let her know that he likely wouldn't be home yet when she left the barn and headed on his way. Taking a cab to Pizza Planet, Leon got out and caught sight of Jonathan in the window. Grinning, he thanked the driver and headed inside now, making his way to the table as the man was finishing up his text, "Guess retirement's still suiting you well, huh? Can't believe I beat the others here first."
