He broke my heart once.
I'm not sure I can handle another goodbye.

When NHL star forward Brody Wilder goes down after a hard hit, I bolt out as the onsite RN/EMT -- only to discover the injured player is the boy who gave me a few perfect months of teenage kisses and promises... then ghosted me like I imagined it all.

Now he's grumpy, aggravating, gorgeous... and stuck needing my care whether he likes it or not. I'm the sunshine he never expects to fall for again.

Late-night check-ups turn into real conversations, and somehow, taking care of him becomes heart-thawing hope... something that feels a lot like love for both of us... Until the league yanks him back into interviews, press tours, and image control... Until fans want pieces of him I can't compete with... Until sponsors want his smile.

And I'm left feeling that familiar tilt -- the quiet shift of someone slipping away.

If he chooses the spotlight over us again
I'm not sure I'll survive the replay.
