    Summary

    Bitty meets Jack on a Saturday morning at approximately the asscrack of dawn about a month after he officially adopts Therese. He knows who he is, of course, was heartbroken when the Falconers were knocked out of the playoffs in the second round.

    Any other day, he would be shocked and excited. Today, however, he’s too tired to really care who walks into the shop. All he cares about is the fact that Therese is still fussing and it’s seven in the morning and he still hasn’t had any coffee. “I’ll be right with you, just give me a minute to get this little princess calm.”

    And apparently Jack Zimmermann is some sort of Disney prince, because he responds with, “Do you want any help? You look exhausted and I’m pretty good with kids?”

    Summary

    Jack Zimmermann has 99 problems, and all of them are named Amelia Bittle.

    Amelia Bittle, who sits in the back of his class and whispers with her classmates after he’s instructed them to compare and contrast the political systems of ancient Greece and India.

    Amelia Bittle, who ate Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in class after lunch last week and left a cloud of red dust on her desk.

    Amelia Bittle who, after Jack gave her detention yesterday for eating in class, used said detention to write a rap about him, then performed it while he was setting up a video for the class to watch.

    (Amelia Bittle, whose very attractive and mortified-looking father is sitting across from him bearing apologies and ... a pie?)

    Summary

    In 2009, Jack Zimmermann was drafted 2nd overall to the Providence Falconers. After a tumultuous first season in the minors, Jack returns to the NHL and is named captain within a year. Known to the media as the "hockey robot," no one seems to be able to break through the polite barrier that Jack has built — no one until Eric Bittle, newest intern at NBC 10. Bitty, interning as a requirement for his journalism degree at nearby Samwell University, forms an instant connection with Jack. Throughout the rest of the season, and the rest of Bitty's junior year at Samwell, the two grow closer while learning how to both trust each other and succeed in their respective careers.

    Summary

    Eric Bittle may be newly single, but that’s not going to stop him from keeping his dinner reservation for Harvest Haus, one of the Boston area’s most exclusive new restaurants. He’s expecting a great meal and a few pictures for social media bragging rights, maybe a nice story for his blog. What he isn’t expecting is to discover the restaurant’s reclusive, anonymous chef is none other than Jack Zimmermann — his former hockey captain and unrequited crush, who hasn’t been heard from since abruptly leaving the NHL eight years ago.

    A second chance au where Jack and Bitty never kissed at graduation, but maybe it’s not too late to get it right the second time around.

    Summary

    “Well, if you’re making people breakfast now, I’m more than happy to accept,” Shitty says brightly, hoping to cajole a smile out of Jack.

    Jack smacks away Shitty’s hand when he tries to steal some bacon. “I’m not,” Jack says, scowling. “I’m teaching that freshman how to get protein into his diet.”

    “Which one?” Shitty asks, already knowing the answer.

    -----

    It is a secret that Jack looks out for Bittle, until it really isn't.
