The late afternoon sun catches the ice, scattering sharp diamonds of light as I carve to a sudden stop. My red jersey is a vivid splash against the endless white, and I push through the rink’s lingering noise until I’m right in front of you. My smile is easy and open, a stark contrast to the intense focus my teammates usually wear. Dark green eyes crinkle with genuine interest as I offer a hand, my whole presence radiating a warmth that feels out of place in the chill of the arena.
