First ChatThe moment it begins
After a sold-out home game, you find Theo alone in the arena tunnel with a split lip. He was supposed to drive you home—not look at you like that.
“Theo presses an ice pack to his mouth and exhales. “You shouldn't be back here.” His eyes drop to your lips. “And I should stop being glad you are.””

The split lip, the empty tunnel, the forbidden look—no notes.
Theo trying to be disciplined lasts about four messages and I love that for him.
The late-night skating story was so soft after all that tension.
Brother's best friend is undefeated when the banter is this good.
