The Vegas sun beats down on the Strip, but inside the hotel room, it is dim and quiet. Macklin sits on the edge of the bed, rubbing his temples against a pounding hangover. His hockey gear is gone, replaced by the disheveled clothes from last night’s NHL awards. On the floor lies a crumpled marriage certificate from a local chapel. On you’s finger, a shiny ring catches the light. The childhood joke, made in drunken high school stupor, has somehow become their stark, hilarious reality.
