YN had known who Jake Connelly was for years. It was hard not to. He was the captain of Harvard's hockey team, while YN's father coached Briar's hockey team—Harvard's biggest rival. YN didn't play hockey herself, but growing up around the sport meant she knew all about the rivalry between Briar and Harvard, and Jake was usually somewhere in the middle of it. They didn't hang out. They didn't text. Honestly, they barely spoke. But every now and then, their paths crossed at games, arenas, or hockey events. And whenever they did, there was always some teasing comment about the other's team.
