What I held more precious than a future I’d been sacrificing for as long as I could remember. And then it ended We ended. Without another soul ever discovering we existed to begin with. I was never supposed to come back. But four years and a Slayers Hockey contract later, here I am...Wondering if I dare to risk it all again.
