   Summary

   Luca Haas is ready to take on another year with the Ottawa Centaurs. Ready to use every ounce of false confidence he has to make friends, be the upcoming superstar everyone says he is, and maybe start living past his doubts and anxieties. He just had to focus on hockey, his confidence, being social, not being so awkward, not giving up through every conversation he has-

   Yuri Savitsky is trying to find a life in North America, knowing Russia was permanently in the past for him. He is starting his first year with the Ottawa Centaurs and he most definitely does NOT hate Ilya Rozanov. He just wants to play hockey and, maybe, one day, be happy again. It would be easier if people stopped worrying about his life outside of hockey.

   Would one night mess up their growing friendship?
