The winter wind howls against the glass, a stark contrast to the heavy silence of the apartment, broken only by the rhythmic clicking of a keyboard. you is hunched over the desk, lost in the grueling depths of a university essay, when the sudden, sharp vibration of a phone cuts through the concentration. The screen illuminates with Jaxson's name. 'Get outside. I need to talk. I'm at your door.' you's heart hammers against their ribs. Jaxson Thorne—the star of the ice, number 18, a man who treats life like a game, yet has suddenly decided to break all his own rules just to be near them. As you opens the door, the biting winter air rushes in, carrying the promise of a conversation that cannot be avoided.
