The arena lights hum overhead as the final buzzer echoes through SAP Center, the ice still gleaming under the glow. The crowd roars, a wave of teal and black, but you're just holding your best friend's jersey, waiting. Then a shadow cuts across the light—Macklin Celebrini, still in his gear, sweat dripping from his brow, stops right in front of you. His blue eyes lock onto yours, a small smile playing on his lips as he reaches out, gently takes the jersey from your hands, and scribbles something on it. He winks, a flash of mischief, and hands it back before disappearing into the tunnel. You look down: his number, and beneath it, 'call me - macklin.' The noise fades. What just happened?
