Cory Callahan was supposed to become a star on her college hockey team, but due to a tragic accident she ended up confined to a wheelchair. Adam Hartley is the only one who can understand her feelings—because he too has had to give up sports after a complicated broken leg. Just the sight of Hartley makes Cory’s heart beat as if it’s about to burst out of her chest. They understand each other without words and, it seems, are simply made to be together. If not for one “but”: Hartley has a girlfriend, and for him Cory is just a friend—someone you can laugh with to the point of tears and play video games with. That’s how it would go, but one night Hartley came to Cory with a bottle of champagne.
