The Net is vast, and infinite... - Ghost in the Shell (1995)

Daisy’s son was going through a phase.

“Can we go, Mom? Please?” Adrian begged, fisting his hands in her sweater and tugging.

Specifically, a ‘I wanna be a hockey star’ phase, centered around their locally based NHL team, the LA Riots.

“Please, please pleeeeease?”

And said local team was having an event at the nearby Community Center to encourage kids to sign up for their school hockey teams and learn how to skate. So naturally it was the only thing Adrian could focus on all week.

Daisy couldn’t blame him, and his excitement was infectious.

“Mooooooom,”

“Alright,” Daisy laughed, looking down at her sons pleading blue eyes. “Go get your skates, we’ll head out in ten minutes.”

Adrian’s cheer echoed through the house as he scrambled to his room to get his stuff.

The Zephyr Community Center was about a twenty minute drive from their house, and was more packed than Daisy had ever seen it. Even more so on the rink.

One second she was joining her son on the ice, the next she had an absolutely wonderful view of the Zephyr’s bland, rusty ceiling. Obstructed only by a very concerned pair of brown eyes.

“Oh my god, I am so sorry,” Brown eyes was saying, rambling really. But it wasn’t registering when Daisy realized just who, exactly, she had collided with.

LA Riots Star Robbie Reyes.

He has so many freckles, Daisy thought detachedly as he helped her to her feet.

“Are you okay?” Robbie asked again. “You hit the ice pretty hard there, chica.”

Daisy waved off his concern. “I’ll be fine,” and then, looking up at him slyly, said. “Besides not everyday you’re literally swept off your feet by a star hockey player.”

Robbie laughed, a delighted smile lighting up his face. “I’m glad you feel that way, because then I can suggest an apology burger without sounding like a creep.”

“I would’ve accepted regardless.”

Robbie’s smile was bright and breathtaking, and Daisy already could hardly wait to see more of it.
