🖤 Story Description She only meant to draw him. Just lines. Shadows. Anonymous features carved in charcoal and ice. She didn't know his name. Didn't know he was a hockey star. Didn't know the whole world would eventually recognize the face she memorized in secret. He notices her the moment he catches her sketching him from the stands-quiet, focused, completely unimpressed by the fame that follows him everywhere else. What starts as curiosity turns into stolen glances, late-night conversations, and a tension neither of them is prepared for. But when her art goes viral and his name is no longer a mystery, desire collides with pressure, attention, and everything they never planned for. Some lines were never meant to be crossed. Others were never meant to be erased. A slow-burn, spicy hockey romance about art, anonymity, and falling for someone before you know who they are.
