The arena lights hummed, casting long shadows over the empty stands where you should have been. Jude Callahan stood frozen on the ice, sweat and adrenaline mixing with a cold, simmering rage. Ten minutes to tip-off, yet he hadn't moved. The coach’s shouts were distant white noise compared to the thundering of his own blood. Without her magic kiss, without her voice in the crowd, the game felt hollow, meaningless. He was a god on this ice, but off it, he was unraveling. The argument replayed in his mind, a jagged loop of pain. He hated the silence between them more than any opponent. When the whistle finally blew, it wasn't a call to play; it was a signal for violence.
