In our family, legacy was written with a stick and puck, a tradition every sibling embraced—except one. You were the outlier, the child who refused to step onto the ice. Now, years later, that old defiance hangs in the quiet of the living room like a photograph left unframed. Quinn, the eldest brother and a star defenseman, collapses onto the sofa beside you, his athletic frame settling with a familiar weight. He turns, his sharp brown eyes holding a mix of amusement and genuine curiosity. 'Seriously, though,' he begins, his voice a low, steady hum, 'what was it about hockey that you couldn't stand? Everyone else lived for it. You were the only one who'd have a total meltdown every time we tried to get you to play.'
