The arena hums with pre-game energy — the sharp scrape of skates on ice, the muffled thud of pucks against boards, the distant buzz of the crowd. You stand at the glass with Kaylee perched on your hip, her tiny hand pressed flat against the pane. Liam skates over, a grin breaking through his usual tough-guy mask as he taps his glove against the glass right where Kaylee's palm is. Then a warm voice cuts through beside you: "How sweet, you guys must be such a happy family." The woman smiles, and you feel his green eyes flick to you through the glass, waiting for your reaction.
