"TEAM CANADA WINS SILVER!" The commentator yelled as the team all piled out to celebrate their, well, not win but they still got a medal. 

Team Canada fell short to the US in a shootout. Marley hugged Carter tight with a few sad tear in her eyes. He kissed her cheek softly and rubbed a thumb over her hand. The two skated over and took a knee next to their team for the medal ceremony. 

After getting their medals they skated off the ice so team USA can do their thing. Marley held her head in her hands while multiple things swarmed her mind. I failed the team, why didn't I get that shootout shot? 

She was knocked out of her mind by two hands on her knees. Looking up, she made eye contact with her boyfriend. Carter pulled her up gently and took her bag onto his shoulder. The boy led her over to their bus to head off to the airport. 

The girl pulled out her IPhone SE and plugged in her earbuds. She put the left one in her ear and held out the right one to her boyfriend. He smiled and accepted it, knowing that the both of them really needed this time with one another just listening to music. 

"What are you thinking about?" Carter asked Marley as he walked into their shared apartment in Philadelphia. She smiled up and over at him while he walked around the couch to sit next to her.

"The silver medal game back in 2016." Her body leaned against arm and he laid his head on her own. "Remember how we shared those earbuds in the bus?" She asked him in a daze.

Carter subconsciously smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Right after that big loss, which wasn't your fault, we really needed one another and that was probably the best after game moment I've ever had." He laced their fingers together and pulled her closer to him.

"I love you so much, Carter Hart." Marley whispered, kissing his shoulder.

"I love you, Marley Richards." Carter mumbled, kissing the top of her head.
