Carry His Burden

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means. ~Robert Louis Stevenson

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. ~Victor Hugo

Stacey Garrett has enough on her plate, with NCAA College Gymnastics, possible Olympic Roster Placings, grades, and a boyfriend, without the need and pressures of the sport otherwise known as hockey. Her senior year of college should be relaxed, laid back, exciting, and fun, not tense, suspicious, and highly frustrating.

Unfortunately, that's all Sergei Bobrovsky has been in Stacey's life, is frustrating. Ever since her first Philly game, against the Capitals, she met him by accident, while being drug to see her friend's boyfriend. Of course, it doesn't help that she happens to run into him frequently outside of games.

EDIT: I can't decide between Sergei or Danny. If you'd rather Danny, she's obviously going to be in college longer than four years, to make up the age difference, or the plot might change slightly. Anyways, can't write until I know who! ): I can't make up my mind.
