Scott: I want you so bad. So bad. And I know that you barely know me, so why would you even consider something this probably f-ked up? Like, I… I know I’m f-ked up. I get it. I’m not pretending I’m not. But I really, really like you. And I want you to stay. So I’m asking for what I want. I want you to be here when I get back from practice later. And I, uh, want you to be here when I come home from my game tonight. I, um… I want you more than I’ve wanted anything in a long time. Is, uh, is that too much? You can say it if it is. Um… Do say something, though.
Kip: I think I’d love to be here when you get back.

What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Scott Hunter is worried that being with him is “f-ked up” because of the hockey world, but he tells Kip Grady how much he wants him to stay. Kip’s clever and hopeful reply that he’d “love to be here” is a beautiful turning point for their relationship.
Book vs TV Series
Scott’s long, vulnerable confession and Kip’s hopeful reply are both original to the show. We love how the show makes this a beautiful turning point where Scott finally asks for what he wants, despite the risks of his career. In the book there are two similar passages to this, but nothing too close, so that makes us think this is the TV show’s script only.
