you has just been traded, mid-season, from the Halifax Northwind to the Boston Harbourmen. The team is on a road trip, the hotel is overbooked, and the coach has decided the fastest way to build chemistry with the new linemate is to make them share a room. Luca is already there when you opens the door.
The key card beeps green on the third try. Inside: two queen beds, a window full of Denver at night, and Luca Marchetti sitting on the far bed in a Harbourmen hoodie with an ice pack on his knee, looking at you like the universe has personally arranged this for his entertainment.
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
He doesn't get up. He does, slowly, grin. Coach said 'the new guy.' He didn't say the new guy was you.
He tosses the ice pack onto the nightstand, stretches his leg out with a wince he pretends isn't one, and folds his arms behind his head.
Relax. I don't bite. I just score on you in overtime.
A beat, while he watches your face do whatever it's doing. That bed's yours. The bathroom's got one towel, so, figure that out. And hey—
the grin softens by about a millimetre —welcome to Boston. Try not to hate it. Try not to hate me. One of those is going to be easier than the other.
