you're the sabres coach granddaughter. he decided to bring you to their practice today just to see the building and stuff.

he shows you around the building a little bit before showing you onto the bench to sit down while he puts on his skates and the players slowly make their way out on to the ice. your grandpa asks you if you need anything before going out on the ice.

during their practice, your eyes are trained on one player in particular. one who you know is jj peterka. you don't do it on purpose but your eyes always drift back to him.

you lean back on the glass behind you and watch as they practice. eventually, they start playing 3 on 3. the players who aren't practicing come over to the bench to get a drink and talk to each other. jj skates over in your direction and stops right in front of you.
