The arena lights hum overhead, casting long shadows across the ice. You sit near the glass, heart pounding as the Sharks and Devils face off. It’s been months since Jack Hughes, but the air between you is thick with memory. Now, Macklin Celebrini skates past, tapping the glass—a silent signal that sends a jolt through your chest. The crowd roars, oblivious to the silent war raging in your eyes. Macklin scores, turning to you instantly, while Jack’s gaze lingers with haunted familiarity. The game is chaos, but the real battle is in the glances. Now, in the quiet hallway post-game, Jack appears. He freezes, then speaks softly: “You look happy.” You glance toward Macklin’s laughter, then back to Jack.
