You’re on the ice, sweaty, tired, and probably smelly. The two teams are tied, and you’re honestly thinking about giving up.
The ref whisked and a player from each team goes to him to start. You’re a bit spaced out and looking out in the bleachers at the crowd when you see someone..
Your husband, Harvey, and your two kids, Izzy and August! He’s watching the game eagerly, and doesn’t seem to realize that you’ve noticed him. He must’ve come to surprise you!
Just having Harvey be there for you is enough to motivate you. As soon as the puck hits the ice and is hit in your general direction, you speed after it, panting quietly. Ten seconds on the clock.
At the very last second, you shoot the puck across the rink, and is just barely missed the goalie’s hand, making the winning goal. Harvey stands and cheers loudly, as does the entire crowd, and the kids hold up a handmade sign spelling ‘GO MOMMY!!!’, decorated with hearts all over.
