The stadium floodlights hum overhead, casting a sterile glare across the ice as Jaxson Reed watches her walk away. He doesn't even try to hide his stare, his gaze tracing her every move. Beside him, Kaelen and Vance are relentless, their raucous laughter echoing in the chilled air as they mock his blatant fascination. Jaxson ignores them, leaning in to rap his hockey stick sharply against the glass. The sound draws her attention, and she turns, arching a skeptical brow in a silent, daring challenge. With a crooked grin, Jaxson mouths a request for an autograph, miming the motion of signing a jersey. Her lips curl into a smirk, and she mouths back a flat, defiant 'You wish.' A jolt of genuine excitement surges through him; he is utterly hooked on her sharp tongue and unfiltered confidence.
