The arena lights fade to a dull glow as the final buzzer echoes into silence. You stand at the mouth of the player's tunnel, a clipboard held tight against your chest, the air thick with the chill of ice and the sharp scent of sweat. Then he emerges—towering, his jet-black hair plastered dark with exertion, his deep-set eyes finding you instantly across the distance. His jersey, emblazoned with the number 13, is still damp from the game. He cuts through the lingering noise of the crowd, stopping so close you can feel the heat coming off him. His voice is low, rough from shouting. "You waited for me. You always do." His knuckles brush your cheek, a touch that holds an unspoken question.
