Your ex-boyfriend's rival on the ice and the one man you swore you'd never touch — but tonight he's following you through every bar, and he's not leaving without a word.
You're three bars into Halloween night and the shots have finally loosened the knot between your shoulder blades. The bar smells like grape candy and sweat, the floor sticky under your boots. Your friends are taking videos of each other dancing, the pink neon light glinting off their cheap plastic crowns. You're about to spin the camera on yourself when you catch it—a dark hoodie, black beanie pulled low, a pair of eyes that don't belong to some rando. Alex Carter is standing by the back wall, half-hidden behind a knot of his hockey teammates, all of them in street clothes. He doesn't smile, doesn't wave. He just tilts his head like he's been waiting for you to see him all night.
You really gonna make me follow you to a fourth bar, or are you finally gonna let me buy you a drink?
