Sloan Smith has her life planned around one thing - success. Top grades. Endless studying. No distractions. Especially not hockey players. Macklin Celebrini lives in a completely different world, one of early practices, loud locker rooms, and constant pressure to perform. He's focused. Disciplined. And not looking for complications. They're not friends. They're not enemies either. Just two people who keep crossing paths - until staying out of each other's orbit becomes harder than either of them expected. A slow-burn college hockey romance about pressure, timing, and learning to let someone in.

What started as a desperate act to avoid the past might just lead to something unexpected...and maybe even something real.

𓂃 𓈒𓏸‪‪ 𓇼 Summer had always been my favorite season. Sun-warmed sand, salty air, and the beach house in Cousins, North Carolina that held a lifetime of memories. Every year, my mom, my brother, and I spent our summers there with her best friend and her kids, Will and Grace. Will was two years older than me, just enough to make him feel untouchable when we were kids, and impossible to ignore as we grew older. We were inseparable every summer, even as life pulled us back to Massachusetts and Pennsylvanian the rest of the year. But the summer going into my senior year of high school was different. Will came back already knowing he'd been drafted by the San Jose Sharks, and we both understood it would be our last summer the same way. Maybe that's why friendship finally crossed a line, turning into something deeper, reckless, and unforgettable. When Will left for the NHL, he took that summer with him. The next two summers passed without him, and while he seemed to forget what we shared, I was left holding onto a love that only existed in the warmth of that final summer 𓇼 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Will Smith ( Hockey) X fem!oc

In the NHL, everything is measured in moments. Shifts. Periods. Overtime. Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith have always understood that kind of pressure. On the ice, they're precise, relentless, unstoppable. Off it, they have each other. They don't expect anything else, until her. Charlie never planned on being seen. She was just a fan in the stands, switching jerseys, holding signs no one was supposed to notice. As playoff runs blur into something bigger than hockey, the three of them begin to build a life that doesn't follow the rules-one shaped by choice, loyalty, and love that refuses to fit into neat lines.
