I like my life controlled, measured, exactly on schedule. Which is why I don't date teammates' sisters.

But Tallulah "Lulu" Parnell makes that one hell of a rule to keep. Sunshine in a maxi dress, always asking questions she shouldn't, always finding new ways under my skin.

When she moves in across the street, her brother Eli asks me to keep an eye on her during some dating mission to find herself, and suddenly I've got a front-row seat. Watching her walk out the door for guys who don't deserve her, in dresses I can't stop thinking about, smiling in ways that aren't meant for me.

Somewhere between a flooded kitchen, a string of failed dates, dog-sitting, and her volunteering me for career day, she asks me for lessons—the kind that don't belong in a classroom.

I should refuse. Say no and value my life.

Instead, I let her in. And the more I touch her, the harder it gets to remember why I'm supposed to resist. She's showing me there's more to life than one safe lane, and I'm proving she's so much more than people assume.

With hockey, the game starts when you break the ice with the first goal.

With Lulu, it's endgame.
