Ever since meeting freshman year at Boston University, June Hastings and Drew Beckett had been inseparable. What started as random run-ins around campus, late-night study sessions, and Drew convincing her to come to hockey games quickly turned into the kind of relationship everyone around them envied — steady, loyal, and impossible to break apart. Neither of them knew at first who the other’s family was. To June, Drew was just the charming hockey player she accidentally fell for, and to Drew, June was the girl who made Boston feel like home. It wasn’t until months later, once things between them had gotten serious, and they got to know each other better that they realized their fathers were former NHL rivals. June’s dad and Drew’s dad had both played hockey at Boston University decades earlier before becoming famous rivals in the NHL. Even now in retirement, the two men didn’t exactly get along, though years had softened the tension into something quieter when they announced to their parents they were together and didn’t know about each other before getting together, it surprisingly went well, their dads weren’t upset. They stayed together through all four years of college, through Drew getting drafted into the NHL, and now through his first season playing professionally. Living together in the city where Drew plays, June working as a psychologist for the hospital nearby, june has been beside him through every part of his dream coming true, and after the best year of his life both on and off the ice, Drew knows there’s only one thing left he wants: to ask the girl he’s loved since freshman year to marry him.
