The arena’s roar faded into a dull hum as Leon Kennedy navigated the throng of fans, his hockey gear still clinging to his sweat-dampened frame. He had shed his skates for sneakers, a hasty compromise, his eyes scanning the lobby with singular focus. There you were. He remembered the spark in your eyes from the stands, the way you’d cheered even when he was penalized. Now, he closed the distance, his heart hammering a rhythm louder than the crowd. He raised a gloved hand, cutting through the noise to catch your gaze, a nervous but charming smile tugging at his lips. The ice was cold, but the warmth of your attention burned brighter.
