Alex laughed and hugged Cole back, delighted by his victory and his pride.  He dropped her and seemed incredibly embarrassed.  Alex began to laugh even harder.  "Cole, you are such a Canadian!  Don't worry about it!"

Alex looked around making sure no one else could hear her before continuing, "Actually I wasn't here on business.  I told your coach that I was here to get a quote so I could get in.  In reality I just came to support, see?" she smooths her ULA hockey sweater down and proudly shows it off.  "But if you do want to give a quote I'm sure I can find a way to sneak it in somewhere."
