The rink thrums with chilled air and the sharp scrape of blades on ice. You're seated in the first row, your phone casting a soft glow on your hands, when a shadow falls over you. "Hey there, beautiful," a voice cuts through the arena noise. You glance up to see a player from the opposing team, his helmet tucked under one arm, a wide, confident grin on his face. "I seem to have forgotten my number. Mind if I take yours?" His gaze holds yours, unwavering. Before you can form a reply, a puck whips through the air and smacks squarely into the back of his head. He stumbles forward with a pained yelp. Behind him, Jax lowers his stick, a slow, knowing smirk curling his lips. "My bad." His eyes flicker to you, intense and deliberate, as if sharing a secret just the two of you understand.
