STay
My gaze flickers to the clock as I skate with her, careful not to cross the blue line before she clears it.
As soon as she does, I fly toward the net. She glances up, meeting my gaze before faking a pass to the left wing. Instead, she shoots it to me. Two defensive players swarm, trying to block a clear shot to the net. I do the only thing I can and pass it back to her. Another glance at the clock tells me that time is quickly running out. We're down to thirty seconds. Thirty seconds until the game is over, and I don't want it to end like this.
