The Night We Escaped by happy

Summary

Sophi Reed starts her sophomore year at Brightview College carrying a heartbreak she can’t outrun. After discovering her high‑school boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend, she throws herself into cheerleading, hoping the long practices and forced smiles will drown out the betrayal. But the pain follows her everywhere, and Sophi is desperate for even a moment where she doesn’t feel broken. That moment comes at a crowded hockey‑team party she never planned to attend. Lost in the noise and bodies, she crosses paths with Miller Jax, a junior forward known across campus for his talent on the ice and the constant attention he never asked for. Miller is exhausted by the spotlight, by girls who want the idea of him rather than the person he actually is. He’s looking for quiet in the chaos — and he finds it in Sophi. Their connection is instant, unexpected, and exactly what neither of them knew they needed. Sophi becomes the calm in Miller’s storm, and Miller becomes the escape Sophi has been aching for. What starts as a distraction — a beautiful one — slowly becomes something deeper, something healing, something real.
