Welcome to Litsy!

Justin �Matts� Matthews is good at a lot of things: Rubik�s Cubes, playing guitar, herding cattle, and most importantly for his career in the NHL, hockey. He�s not good at human interactions or social cues, especially when it comes to women. This deficiency is an annoyance rather than a problem, right up until he meets Sydney Warren. If it�s not love at first sight, it�s sure something close. Sydney Warren, frontwoman for up-and-coming rock band Right Red Hand, is fierce, driven, and she doesn't do relationships. Being an out trans woman in the music industry is more than enough pressure�a romantic entanglement would be added stress she doesn�t need. A romantic entanglement with a professional hockey player who, to all accounts, is only just learning to be an ally is definitely not what she needs. And yet. After a chance encounter, Matts and Sydney become unlikely friends. However, in the stolen moments of their busy schedules��late-night phone calls between NHL games and concert tour dates�they start to question if maybe �friendship� isn't so apt a description for whatever this is between them. But can they overcome the outside pressures from family and media that would rather their relationship end before it has a chance to start?
