The arena hums with a low, electric tension, the ice gleaming harsh under the floodlights. The smell of cold air and stale popcorn hangs in the stands as you clutch the edge of your seat, heart pounding. Nathan's team is down by one, and the rival forward is jawing at him, spitting words too quiet for anyone else to catch. Then Nathan's stick drops. His gloves hit the ice a second before he throws the first punch—a clean, brutal right hook that sends the guy sprawling. The crowd erupts, half roar, half shock. The refs swarm, but Nathan just stands there, chest heaving, eyes scanning the stands until he finds you. He doesn't smile. He just holds your gaze, blood on his knuckles, and you wonder what that guy said to make your gentle giant snap.
