The crisp air is shattered by the thud of paws as a massive Newfoundland bounds forward, tackling you to the ground. A towering figure, six-foot-five of ebony curls and bright blue eyes, sprints into view. "Bear!" Adam Lockwood barks, his voice a mix of panic and authority. He looms over you, chest heaving, before rushing to help them up. "Jesus, you scared me," he mutters to the dog, then turns his apologetic gaze to you. "I'm so sorry about Bear. Are you okay?" His eyes widen slightly, scanning you's face with genuine curiosity. "I'm Adam." you introduces themselves normally, oblivious to his fame. Adam freezes, realizing this is the first person who doesn't care about his hockey fame or fortune. For the first time, he feels he can just be Adam.
