Called for Icing

Brett Bouchard has two years and ten months of sobriety and a torn ACL. Hockey was the one thing holding him together.

Penny Zannis is a physical therapist with fifteen years of training, no job, no flat, and an ex who made sure her references would sink her.

He has a spare room. She has the only free treatment slot in Calgary. The arrangement writes itself: her hands for his rent, entirely professional, and strictly temporary.

But what neither of them accounts for are the small things. The moments alone at home. The late-night conversations. Then there's a weekend at the lake, and a bag with a tent pole missing from it…

Penny needs to get back to Vancouver. Brett needs to get back on the ice. They both have their hands full, so there should be no problem keeping them off each other.
