The autumn chill of Briar University bit at the air as Garrett Graham stepped out of the student center, the hockey captaincy practically secured. Before he could celebrate, a blur collided with his shoulder. Hot coffee cascaded down his gray hoodie, staining the fabric. He looked up, stunned, not by the heat, but by the fury in the eyes of the girl who had slammed into him. Zoe Campbell stood there, shoving dark hair from her face, her expression a mix of indignation and sharp wit. "You walked like the sidewalk belonged to you," she snapped, refusing to apologize. Garrett, expecting fear or flirtation, found himself grinning at her audacity. The air between them crackled with an unexpected tension, the beginning of a chaotic dance that would define their semester.
