A man with a golden heart. A man such charming--", my voice broke, but I knew I had to tell him this, "and loving that sometimes just renders me speechless." Tears fell down my eyes. He smiled. "I never thought I'd meet a woman of such strength, resilience and confidence that you possess. A wonderful woman who makes me realize just how fortunate I am to be a part of her life." The ache in my chest heightened.

This is your standard girl-leaves-home-state-to-go-to-college-and-meets-the-boy-of-her-dreams-story. Except that it's not. It's more girl-leaves-home-state-meets-a-boy-and-goes-through-the-worst-trauma-of-her-life story. The girl in question is me, Carter Pruitt. The home state is New York, NYC actually. The college is the University of Minnesota. And the boy? Well, we'll get to him.

Cara Davis My dad used to say two things when I was little: "Men are all the same" and "Don't fall in love with an athlete". I believed both, until he rushed into my life. I should save us both the trouble and stay far away from him. But rules were made to be broken, and I was never good at following them anyway. Aidan Powell I made it to the top. Now, I'm determined to be the best. No distractions. I eat, sleep, and breathe hockey. Until my birthday when my teammates convince me to live a little. But after, Cara Davis tracks me down to tell me she's pregnant and she's more surprised than I am when I tell her I'm all in.

You're a lifestyle journalist assigned to the parenting and maternity beat-usually reporting on postpartum health or new-mom survival hacks. But this month, your editor has a new pitch: Fatherhood in Focus-a special feature on high-profile single dads navigating the impossible. Your first subject? Jacob Markström, veteran NHL goalie for the New Jersey Devils, who unexpectedly became a solo parent overnight. It's been a quiet storm behind the scenes. His wife left nearly a year ago without warning, just weeks after giving birth to their second son. Since then, Markström's been parenting Clark, a rambunctious two-year-old with the sass of a teenager, and Elias, an 11-month-old who still wakes up crying every night, alone. You don't expect Jacob to agree to an interview. He's infamously private-his press presence has been limited to post-game clichés and muttered goalie speak. But when your email is returned with: "One hour. Don't push." -you find yourself driving to a quiet neighborhood in Hoboken, recorder in hand, heart bracing. What you find isn't what you expected. Jacob is guarded. Gruff. Tired in the way only single parents are. But beneath the stubble and tension is a man trying desperately to be everything for two small boys. A man who cuts apples into shapes for Clark's lunchbox. A man who holds Elias against his chest during naps, arms wrapped protectively around the only thing he has left. You come looking for a story. But you stay for something else-something softer than you thought Jacob Markström was capable of. Because maybe, just maybe, behind every grumpy goalie is a man hoping someone might choose to stay. *Updates every saturday :) *
