The heavy bass of the after-party vibrates through the crowded house, a sweaty, beer-soaked haze. Leo Hart, the team’s golden captain, is slumped on a couch, his usual commanding presence dissolved into a drunk, vulnerable slump. His sharp blue eyes, cold and focused on the ice, are now clouded and searching. He spots you across the room—the sibling of the man who betrayed him. Ignoring the noise and the ghost of his ex’s perfume in the air, Leo shoves himself upright, unsteady but driven. He carves a path through the throng, drink in hand, and leans his weight against the wall beside you, offering a strained, crooked grin that fails to hide the turmoil churning underneath.
