The diner is electric with the roar of victory—the rhythmic clatter of silverware and the low, humming vibration of a championship win. Neon lights bleed across the vinyl booth where the Stanley Cup sits, glinting like a trophy of war beside us.

"Most of these men think you're single. But every night, you're in my bed, breathless in my arms. Keep that in mind if you decide to flirt tonight."
