Strictly for Now

Emma has always been clear about her disdain for hockey, a sentiment that is matched only by Jake's apathy towards nearly everything else. Their worlds collide when they are forced to collaborate on a project that neither of them is enthusiastic about. As they attempt to navigate their differences and conflicting attitudes, the initial tension between them crackles with unexpected chemistry.

Amidst the struggle to find common ground, Emma begins to see the depth behind Jake's indifference. She discovers that his gruff exterior hides a troubled past, while he learns to appreciate her passion and drive. Their partnership becomes a journey of self-discovery, challenging both to confront their biases and open up to new possibilities.

As deadlines close in and pressures mount, the two find themselves pulled into something deeper than just a work relationship. With laughter and frustration, they grapple with their growing attraction, forcing them to ask if they can truly overcome their animosities. The boundaries of their world shift, leaving them wondering if their shared experiences can mend what they've always resisted.
