A Deal With The Hockey Captain

One bargain rewrites a quiet life into chaos.
Dora signs on as a hockey-team assistant solely to stay near Leo, the player she has admired from a distance. When her confession meets a flat-out dismissal, she pivots to Troy, the squad's captain, offering to absorb his administrative burden in exchange for a step-by-step playbook to win Leo over. The captain agrees, and their late-night strategy sessions begin reshaping Dora from a background note into a voice the locker room actually hears.
