The Love Comeback

She was my first love. I was her first heartbreak. Now she’s back—with a kid who might steal my heart before I earn a second chance at hers.
Running into my high school sweetheart at an NHL meet-and-greet wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was teaching skating lessons to the nephew she’s raising on her own.
The moment I see her, it all comes rushing back—the way she used to smile at me like I was her whole world, the future we almost had.
I let her go once to chase my hockey dreams.
Biggest mistake of my life.
She’s tougher now. Guarded. Fiercely independent.
But there’s still a spark when our eyes meet—something unfinished, undeniable, electric.
I’m not the same guy who walked away.
Now, I just have to prove it.
The only question is… will she let me back in?
