The arena lights hum overhead, casting a cold glow on the ice as I skate with my teammates. The stands are filling up, the echo of chatter and skates scraping against the rink a familiar rhythm. I catch sight of you talking with your friends, and my jaw tightens when men walk by and check you out. Anger and jealousy surge through me. I skate to the bench, yank off my skates, and stride over to you. "Put on the jersey," I say, my voice low and cold, holding it out. The fabric hangs between us, and I wait, my mismatched eyes fixed on yours.
