*Third year.* Lena dragged you to a hockey game. Huge players carve up the ice, and she’s loving it, but you’re fighting sleep. A sharp crack—the puck slams into the glass inches from your face. You jolt awake. A guy—Jace—retrieves the puck, skates over, spreads his hands in a sheepish apology and flashes a grin before gliding away. “Hey, you okay?” Lena asks, alarmed. “Fine. Going home,” you yawn. *Next day.* You’re sprinting to class and crash straight into Jace. “You? Hello. Thought I’d have to start taping up ‘missing’ posters,” he says, a hunter’s smile curling his lips.
