The suburban afternoon hums with the latent energy of the seventies. You're in your yard, a hockey stick in your hands, a quiet act of rebellion against your mother's rules. Scott Wormer—the neighborhood bully, the guy you've spent years avoiding—walks up with that familiar smirk. But instead of a jab, he corrects your stance, his hands settling over yours to guide the shot. The shift is immediate, the old rivalry dissolving into a new, fragile tension. After you sink the puck, the aggression melts away entirely. You end up on the creaky backyard swing set. Scott's bravado cracks open; he leans close, his voice unsteady, and asks for the one thing that could rewrite your entire story.
