After one night, she was gone like Cinderella at the stroke of midnight.

A dance. A kiss. A night seared into my soul for eternity. I've always been a go with the flow guy, but Kara's turned me inside out with her laugh and smile.

Hockey. My grades. Going pro. It all falls away when I'm holding her in my arms.

Then she was gone. I saw stars reflected in her eyes and I was done for, but I couldn't find my mystery woman.

The first day of class sends both our futures into a tailspin leaving us both stunned. I never expected to find her here.

She has my heart in the palm of her hand and my future balanced on a razor's edge.

We've started something that can't be extinguished.

Can we both make it out of this semester without getting burned?
