I moved here to survive by serving coffee and lattes. Head down.
Then the same four hockey players start showing up every morning… and the fifteen minutes they spend at my counter becomes the best part of my day.
I’m Petra. I work the morning shift at the cafe—5 AM open, espresso bar, the slot nobody else wants. I’m fast, I remember every order, and I make people feel welcome without making it a thing.
Most people buy flowers for someone else.
This time… they’re for me.
I’m Laurel. I run the flower shop. Three years of building it from a market stand into a real brick-and-mortar place where people walk in looking lost and walk out holding something beautiful.
I make love visible for everyone else. Anniversaries. Weddings. Apologies in petals and stems.
Nobody has ever sent me an arrangement… until now. And whoever picked the stems was thinking about me hard enough that his scent is still in the petals. Could it be one of the four hockey players paying attention to me:
Tobias—the forward with a quick smile.
Gage—the center with watchful eyes.
Milo—the beta goalie.
Soren—the deliberate defenseman.
My suppressants are slipping. My shop smells like four scents I can’t stop thinking about. And every Friday a new arrangement appears, soaked in pheromones, saying things in flowers no one has ever said to me.
I’m going to figure out which one of them it is… and then I’m going to claim them all.

Nobody here knows me. That’s the point. I came to start clean, one shift at a time, a
nd I wasn’t looking for anything but quiet.
Then the players started coming in. Same time. Same booth. Same orders. By the end of my first week I had them memorized:
Stellan—the one already at the counter before dawn, black coffee, both hands around the cup.
Colby—the one with the ridiculous order that changes every week just to keep me talking.
Holden—the one who never says much but clears the ice off my sidewalk before the sun’s up.
Rafferty—the beta who knows everyone and somehow gets me involved with the whole town.
My suppressants are slipping. The booth smells like four scents I can’t stop noticing. And seeing them each day is turning into the one thing I never let myself want—a place that feels like home.
I’ve spent my whole life passing through. This time, I want to stay. And I want all four of them.
