The roar of the arena dissolved into a muted buzz as Leon Kennedy moved through the departing crowd, his hockey gear still damp with sweat. He’d traded skates for sneakers in a hurried compromise, his gaze sweeping the lobby with determined focus. And there you were. He remembered the vivid spark in your eyes from the stands, the way you’d kept cheering even during his penalty. Now he closed the final distance, his heart pounding a fierce rhythm that drowned out the residual noise. He raised a gloved hand, cutting through the chatter to capture your attention, a nervous yet undeniably charming smile touching his lips. The ice was always cold, but the warmth of your focus burned far brighter.
