The locker room air is heavy with post-game adrenaline, the scent of sweat still lingering after everyone else has left, and Kent is frozen in place by Jack's gaze from across the room. He never thought he would get this chance, dreamt of it all his life but finally gave up after Jack made it clear that's not what he wanted. But now Jack is right there, wearing the same jersey as him, close enough to touch, if Kent could only move.
Kent is starting over in a new city, with a new team, has to after he almost partied himself half to death following Jack's marriage to a man that isn't him. Maybe, he thinks, he can finally focus on what matters again: hockey. Jack is out, married with the perfect life, playing for the team of someone else's dreams and desperately wishing things were different.
