You never asked for the roses. You never wanted the diamonds. And yet somehow, Luke Hughes gives you everything you've ever needed without even trying. When you move to Michigan for graduate school, crashing at your cousin's lake house before classes begin, the last thing you expect is Luke Hughes-NHL defenseman, golden boy, and Quinn's little brother-watering plants barefoot in the morning sun. You're drawn to him, not for his name, not for the spotlight, but for the way he remembers your coffee order, brings you wildflowers from the trail, and never forgets your favorite record. This is not a story about grand gestures. It's a story about the kind of love that lives in the silence- in the quiet mornings, the homemade pasta, the wind-chime laughter, and the smaller acts that change everything. But with his season looming and your past chasing you down, you'll both have to decide if the softest kind of love can survive the loudest parts of life.

Dear reader, this is not an easy story. It does not have joy. No happy ending. At no point is this a love story, and it should not be idolized as one. Jack Hughes is hockey's golden boy, America's sweetheart - and a grieving husband with three kids who want to know how he met their mother. What begins as a nostalgic recounting of a childhood love story quickly darkens into something more complicated. Jack tells them about Eva: his best friend, his first kiss, the girl who followed him to Michigan, to Jersey, to the edge of everything. The girl he married. The woman he buried. But interspersed with Jack's charming, curated memories are the pages of Eva's diary. And Eva's truth? Isn't quite the same. In her words are the fractures - the gaslighting, the loneliness, the love that never stopped taking. He said we were soulmates. But when someone loves you like that, it can break you.

When Will Smith (hockey) falls in love with Y/N, single mom.

The last thing he expects is getting pulled into the volatile orbit of the league's most infamous rivals: Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. Some games aren't meant to be played safe-they're meant to be played hard. *note: timeline and ages of characters are not the same as in the show*
