The blonde didn’t know why she was at the festival. It wasn’t really like her to socialize or even have time to. She was focused on school and her job, leading her to decide that leaving the house wasn’t for her. Yet, she went to the festival. Getting a fresh squeezed lemonade, Mae wandered around the booths, gently touching the items, tilting her head in thought. It was tempting to buy items for her and Jasmine’s apartment, but the other part of her needed to save. Her job didn’t make much money and the money she did make went to bills and things for school. 

Moving from the booths, she heard a band play, a smile forming as she walked towards it. Hearing other people sing their own songs was amazing to her. She always loved to see how people expressed themselves through an art. Mae still dances from time to time. It lets her express what she feels and what is going on in her brain. Eyes stayed on the band until she felt a random person nudging her, looking to the side. It wasn’t until then, the blonde saw a familiar face. The face of the man who broke her heart. Her heart jumped into her stomach as she wanted to run away and leave. Yet, she was still there just staring at him, almost as if she wanted to talk to him, but what was there to say? Would she have even been able to have a conversation with him? It was a mystery, but it was slightly a mystery she wanted to figure out. @cntrnolan​

nolan separated from his teammates to find a beer tent. what he didn’t expect was how quickly the crowd had grown around the stage, but spring fest always brought out record crowds to battery park. we weaved through the mass of people — stopping a few times when girls noticed him and asked for pictures ( maybe even pocketing a number or two ) when he noticed a blonde swaying to duo on stage. 

something about her — even though he couldn’t see her face — felt familiar. he decided to try and make her’s number three for the day. he took a quick swig of his beer and moved around people until he was next to her. the music was too loud this close to the stage to speak to her, so he nudged her slightly — ready to deliver the tried a true pick up line. 

then he saw her — a face he’d only seen in drunken dreams for the last three years. he was awestruck at how put together she looked ( her features even more entrancing after all these years ) and as if on cue, the music subsided to give way for the next act. nolan’s mind replayed their last moments together as he just took her in  — the hurt and anger, his apathy and hidden shame — but he spoke up anyway. “ mae — wow — i — “ 

the petite blonde always had a way at making him fumble his words — and maybe that mixed with the bad breakup was making it even harder to form a proper sentence. “ time’s been good to you — “

( JACOB ELORDI+ CISMALE ) — Have you seen NOLAN WILLMAN? This TWENTY-THREE year old is a CENTER FOR THE NEW YORK RANGERS who resides in BROOKLYN. HE has been living in NYC for FIVE YEARS, and is known to be AMBITIOUS and PASSIONATE, but can also be RESTLESS and EVASIVE, if you cross them. People tend to associate them with TAILORED SUITS and LATE NIGHT JOGS

Name: Nolan Andrew Carter

Birth Month: June

Hometown: Cape Cod, Mass.

Early Life: 

Andrew and Rachel Willman welcomed their only baby boy on a particularly cool summer evening. Nolan didn’t find out until much later in life that he was conceived as a last ditch effort to repair a broken marriage. — well surprise! that didn’t work out—  Nolan spent his life traveling between his mother’s house on the Cape and his father’s down in Boston. After the divorce, his mother opened a boutique on the Cape (with her own original jewelry and local goods) and lived comfortably off alimony and child support. She also had her share of suitors— though none of them made the jump to marriage. His father was a banker in Boston with a new sky high apartment where Nolan had a  floor all to himself. His father also had a new girlfriend pretty much every week— who pretty much ignored the younger boy’s existence. He escaped the forever revolving door of nannies and his parents' new spouses by playing hockey.

Hockey: 

Nolan had a natural talent when he put on skates for the first time. His dad placed a stick in his hands and a puck on the ice and Nolan never stopped from there. He played in the local leagues until USA Hockey scouted him and invited him to play for the Tier I league. He is a very talented center— with a knack for the face-off circle. He left home at 16 to play in Nebraska. He played with Tri-City until he was 18. He was integral to their championship in 2015. He left after that year to play for Cornell University. He was drafted by the New York Rangers in the second round in 2015. He chose to continue his NCAA career and played three seasons with the Big Red. He signed his entry level contract the summer before what would have been his senior year. Three years later, Nolan has secured a 5-year contract with the Rangers organization —  which comes with a hefty pay raise. 

College: 

Nolan became a start center by his sophomore year. This led to a lot of attention that Nolan graciously accepted (i mean isn’t that what a kid who grew up with divorced parents and pretty much didn’t see his family as a teenager would dream of!?) Sure he ate, drank, and slept hackey back then, but a frat party in the city or a beach laden break trip always caught his eye. But everything took a backseat when he started noticing a blonde that always placed her coffee order before him at his favorite cafe. It wasn’t close to school or anything— but they sure made the best lattes he’d ever tried. His attempts to talk to her were always short lived because they were both always in a rush to get to class/practice.  so he devised the plan one Friday morning where he bribed the barista working to leave a note on her cup with his number. By the end of the day, a date was planned and they hit it off pretty spectacularly. Nolan really enjoyed the way she brought out the good in him and challenged him on a regular basis. He’d always spot her at games when she made it out to them and she’d even infiltrated his friend group and made everyone love her. But all good things come to an end— and he’s always been one to self sabotage his own happiness—  he got a little too used to the attention that came from being a star athlete and having a girlfriend that went to another college (and had a pretty rigorous academic schedule) made it easy for him to let girls get close to him at parties and eventually he let them take it farther. His training camp sessions with the Rangers also opened his world to the allure of being a professional athlete. He knew it was wrong to do it all behind her back, but he couldn’t help the feelings that came from meeting those girls behind her back. Of course, she found out just as he got the call from the Rangers that an ELC was on the way…He knows he broke her heart— knows that what he did is unforgivable. Still, her blonde hair and infectious laugh still pops up from the depths of his mind from time to time. 

Life in New York: 

During his first three seasons in New York, Nolan lived with his line-mate— and best friend. He’s had his share of hookups and even a few short term girlfriends, but it always ends the same—  he cheats when he feels himself developing real feelings. After signing his new contract, Nolan has decided to try living on his own with no roommates for the first time in his life. He just signed a lease on a new apartment in Brooklyn. When he’s not on the road, Nolan is very much into the club scene of NYC. He has a few promoter friends that always let him know where the best gigs are happening every weekend. Something inside of him is changing now that he sees most of his teammates getting engaged, married, and having kids. Is he finally growing up? Only time will tell…
