[ coming back to central city had been the plan. sooner or later, her extended vacation in coast city was going to have to come to an end, and she would have to come back and face the weird, life-changing experiences in her hometown.
linda just didn't expect it to happen over the holidays, and of all the places in central city, she certainly didn't expect to wind up at the hockey rink. but in less than ideal circumstances, people flock to whatever brings them normalcy; the events of the last year had meant a banner year for the combines, with ticket sales through the roof. in any case, it had been enough to encourage a once-in-a-lifetime offer for season ticketholders.
a christmas party on the ice, the invitation had explained. come in your "coolest" clothes.
so here she was, stepping foot in central city again. at least there was champagne. if she'd only look up from her perch near the bar, she might have noticed the familiar twig dangling up ahead. ]
