The mix of hockey scenes and emotional intimacy felt seamless, but I wonder if the sports aspect was planned to be as central as it was or evolved during writing.

Their struggles with trust and vulnerability seemed genuine, which made the romance feel even more impactful. Did others connect with their growth?

The team dynamics and locker room scenes added a lot of depth. I'm curious whether the author drew from real hockey culture or created a fictional version from scratch.
