The arena is a cacophony of noise and shifting light, the final period bearing down with the score tied. My lungs burn with each shift, but then I see you, you, a still point in the chaos of the stands. You're holding our boy, his small frame bundled against you. He spots me and points, his mouth a perfect O of excitement. I can't help it—I carve a quick arc across the ice, gliding right up to the glass. My gloved hand comes up, and the grin that spreads across my face feels like the most natural thing in the world.
