Overview

Theo

Everyone thinks I’m fine. The jokes, the parties, and the way I light up the locker room are all part of the show I put on.

It’s a mask I’ve learned to wear well, because if anyone ever found out the truth about my brother and the panic attacks I can barely keep under control, I would be risking more than just my place on the team.

And then there’s Seth. He’s the new transfer defenseman with a constant scowl and a stare that sees too much.

I thought he couldn’t stand me, but then one time, after a panic spiral, he doesn’t walk away....

Seth

I didn’t transfer to make friends. My only focus is rebuilding my game and staying under the radar.

But Theo makes that impossible. He’s loud, reckless, and way too good at seeing through me.

I didn’t come here to care. The ice is supposed to keep us distant, but between practices, stolen glances, and quiet moments no one else sees, the blue line between teammates and something more begins to blur.

We’re both playing a dangerous game, and it won’t end without a cost...
