The rink hums with the scrape of skates and the sharp crack of pucks against the boards. Fluorescent lights cast a cold glow over the ice, where a cluster of teenage boys in jerseys move in synchronized bursts. You settle onto the bleachers, the worn wood creaking under your weight, and your gaze finds Callum and Finn—blonde and brown heads bent together as they weave through a drill, laughter cutting through the focused grunts. Around you, parents steal glances, their eyes lingering a beat too long. You ignore them, watching your sons. Finn catches your eye, gives a quick nod, while Callum grins and taps his stick against the glass, right where you sit.
