Wren's POV The rink was already crowded when I arrived the following afternoon. The upcoming home game had attracted more attention than most regular-season matches, and the athletic department had been preparing since morning. Staff members moved between the entrance and the locker rooms carrying boxes, volunteers checked guest lists, and members of the media were setting up cameras near the press area.I dropped my bag behind the registration desk and picked up the clipboard waiting for me. I had barely looked through the first few items when the athletic director approached with another stack of papers tucked beneath his arm.“Please tell me you are not planning to give me another list,” I said, looking at the papers with suspicion.“Just one. I need you to check the visiting team's arrival list, make sure their staff have the correct credentials, and help them get settled before warm-ups.” He laughed and handed me the clipboard. “You said that yesterday, and I ended up with th

Jonah's POVI watched Mason disappear toward the visiting team's locker room, but I couldn't bring myself to walk away.The way he had looked at Wren was still bothering me, especially the confidence in his voice when he asked her to go out with him. He had met her that afternoon and already decided he wanted more. What bothered me even more was that Wren hadn't rejected him. She had told him she would think about it.I picked up my bag and followed him toward the hallway.“Mason.” He was several steps ahead of me when I called his name.“Yeah?” He stopped and turned around, looking mildly surprised to see me approaching. “I need to talk to you.” I closed the distance between us, keeping my voice low enough that the few staff members still moving around the hallway couldn't hear us.“About what?” He glanced toward the locker room before looking back at me. “Wren.” I frowned.“I figured that was coming.” His expression changed immediately, although the amused smile remained on his

Jonah's POV Mr. Whitworth drew back the minute I finished speaking. My lips curved up into a smile, but I tried not to show it.“I don't want Kane interfering with the company's daily operations.” He finally said. “You wouldn't need to worry about that. The agreement can define exactly what Kane's rights are.” I replied. “We can have our legal and financial teams work out the details.” My father watched me for a few seconds before looking back at Mr. Whitworth.“That would be appreciated.” Mr. Whitworth exhaled, and some of the tension left his shoulders.The meeting continued for another forty minutes as they discussed figures, timelines, security, and the amount Kane would be willing to provide. I listened carefully, asking questions when something wasn't clear and making suggestions whenever I saw an opportunity.When the meeting finally ended, Mr. Whitworth stood and shook my father's hand.“Thank you for hearing us out.” He appreciated.“We will have the teams contact yours,”

Wren's POVMason drove for a few minutes before turning onto a quieter road lined with restaurants and small shops. I looked through the window as he searched for somewhere to park, taking in the unfamiliar area.“I hope you don't mind the place I picked,” he said, glancing at me before turning his attention back to the road. “I figured something casual would be better than somewhere too formal.” He added.“I don't mind, I'm not really used to fancy restaurants anyway.” I assured him with nod.He smiled when he finally found a parking space and pulled into it. Before I could reach for the door, he got out and walked around the car to open it for me.“Thank you,” I said as I stepped out.“You are welcome.” He flashed me another smile and the image of Rhett popped up in my head disorienting me for a few seconds. “Are you okay? Do you not like the place?” Mason touched for my hand and I immediately smiled at him. He had no idea he had reminded me of someone else, and I instantly felt
