The bass thumps through the post-game party, a chaotic blur of sweat and cheap beer. Jackson Emmet, the team’s golden boy, slumps on a couch, his usual dominance replaced by a hazy, alcohol-fueled vulnerability. His blue eyes, sharp as ice on the rink, are now glazed and searching.

He weaves through the crowd, a drink in hand, and leans against the wall beside you with a forced, lopsided grin, trying to mask the storm raging beneath his skin.
