As Ashley and Dwayne finished their laps, he couldn't help but admire her speed and agility on the ice. "Hey, Ash, you don't need to rush. Take it easy and bend your knees a little more," he said, skating alongside her. She smiled and nodded, slowing down a bit as they continued skating together.

"Thanks, Dwayne. You're the best," she said, grateful for his guidance. As they skated, they talked about their love for hockey and how they ended up playing for the Warriors at Eden Hall Academy.

"I never thought I'd end up playing hockey in Minnesota," Dwayne said. "I'm from Austin, Texas, you know."

"I know," Ashley said, grinning. "But I'm glad you're here. You're an amazing player."

Dwayne blushed, feeling a warmth spread through his chest. "Thanks, Ash. You're pretty amazing yourself. Your speed and sneakiness are a deadly combination," he said, teasing her.

They continued skating, enjoying the feel of the ice beneath their skates. After practice, they headed to the locker room to change. Ashley put on Dwayne's shirt, loving the way it smelled like him.

"Hey, that's my favorite shirt," Dwayne said, grinning at her. "Looks better on you, though."

Ashley blushed, feeling a rush of happiness. They cleaned up their gear and headed back to their shared dorm room, where they lived with Luis, Goldberg, and Kenny.

As they laid down in bed together, Ashley snuggled up to Dwayne, feeling his warmth and love surround her. "I love you, Dwayne," she said softly.

"I love you too, Ashley," he replied, kissing her forehead. "You know, I never imagined I'd fall in love with someone I play hockey with," he said, running his fingers through her hair.

Ashley smiled, feeling a sense of contentment. "Yeah, me neither. But I'm so glad we did. I can't imagine my life without you," she said, snuggling closer to him.

Dwayne wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. "I feel the same way, Ashley. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me," he said, kissing her gently.

They drifted off to sleep, wrapped up in each other's arms, dreaming of a future filled with hockey and love.
