The ice was cold beneath Max Bennett’s skates, but his mind wasn’t on the game. His thoughts were with her, as they so often were.

She had always been there, a constant in his life since childhood. They’d spent summers together, daring each other, laughing, sharing everything. But now, they were worlds apart—him on the ice, living his dream as a professional hockey player, and her dancing on stages, her name whispered in the most respected theaters.
Yet, despite their different lives, they still found a way to stay in touch. They called each other after every big win, their voices filled with excitement, their words a mix of pride and longing. Tonight, Max would call her after his game, just as she would call him after her performance. It was their tradition—no matter how far apart they were, they always congratulated one another, always shared that moment of connection.
Max leaned against the boards, the rink silent around him, his thoughts turning to their latest conversation. Her voice had held a note of something more—maybe it was just the weight of their shared history, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that things were changing between them, even if only in his mind.
He hadn’t seen her in years, but when they spoke, it felt like no time had passed at all. The bond they shared hadn’t changed, even if the rest of their worlds had. He knew that no matter where their lives took them, no matter how many accolades they collected, it was moments like these that would always matter most.
His thumbs flew over his screen on his phone, typing out her number. It was always saved, no matter how many new phones he gets, he adds her number before anyone.
He pressed the call button, pressing his phone between his ear and shoulder as he got off of the ice, and went into the men's locker room.
You’re his bodyguard, he isn’t too thrilled…yet
