The coach ordered the entire hockey team into my yoga class…
Nobody told them to keep coming back.
I’m Romy. Eight years of touring as a dancer, one career-ending injury, and every penny I had went into a little yoga studio on Main Street. It’s beautiful. It’s warm… and it’s nearly empty.
Then the hockey season goes rough on the team—pulled groins, a defenseman who threw out his back getting off the bus—and their coach marches up my stairs with a mandate: the whole roster needs my services, twice a week, all season. Enormous hockey players who cannot touch their toes.
My retiree clients are delighted. Because four of the players are becoming a problem:
I bet my last dollar on a shuttered tea room.
Now the whole hockey team thinks I can read their future… in their teacups.
I’m Esme. I read tea leaves the way my great-aunt taught me: part theater, part paying close attention. Two matches called right, and Puckridge decided I’m the real thing.
Then the hockey crew found my shop.
Four cups. Four men. The same signs in every one: warmth. Home. Someone close:
Cormac — the defenseman who walked in to prove me a fraud. Instead, he’s proving something else.
Reuben — the goalie who won’t start a home game without his Tuesday cup.
Marek — the winger who never asks for a reading, and acts in mysterious ways instead.
Alec — the beta who booked the team’s readings as a joke. He figured out the truth before anyone. He’s not telling.
I try to set them up with other women; yet they keep coming back to see me. And the suppressants I’ve trusted for years pick this fall to start slipping.
The whole town can see what I can’t. The leaves keep promising the same thing: someone is right for you. Someone close. And once I finally read my own cup properly… I intend to drain it to the last drop.

Lars — the enforcer who hates the mandate… and falls asleep under my wool blanket every single class.
Beau — the winger who decided yoga is a sport and he intends to win it. There is no scoreboard. He’s winning anyway.
Anton — the veteran whose form is flawless. Except my hands found what all that perfect control is hiding.
Emil — the goalie who walked in suspiciously good. He’s been practicing in secret for years. I’m the only one who knows.
A hot, steamy room in a frozen town. Hands-on adjustments. Breath cues at close range, all winter. My suppressants have never been asked to handle anything like these four. They keep showing up early… and staying late.
And me? I’m about to find out exactly how flexible I can be.
