(A book in the Atlanta Firebirds series)
A Story by

 
 
The Atlanta Firebirds won the Stanley Cup in their first season. An expansion team. A roster of castoffs nobody wanted. They were never supposed to be here.

Now the Cup is making the rounds. A day apiece. Twenty-four hours each, to do something unforgettable with it.

Or something undignified. Realistically, both.

In Atlanta, the captain's backyard holds the entire family he built in a single year — and a photograph that's about to change what the whole world knows about him and his co-captain.

In Chicago, Soren Lundmark carries the Cup through the front door of the coach whose team it beat in the Final. His father's house.

In an empty training room at six a.m., Matteo Marchetti sets the Cup on a treatment table. The loudest man in hockey knows exactly who gets it first.

When the Cup can't go home to Russia, Bastian Fontenot builds Tikhon Volkov a hometown out of a Cajun family, his grandmother's cast-iron pot, and two kittens who are absolutely going in the bowl. One picture was negotiated. There will be four hundred.

And in Aruba, Luca Berger has water pressure ratings, a man who never stopped showing up, and one thing he can't put a number on.

Five Cup Days. Five couples. One book club mutiny, one betrayal by screenshot, and one last quiet lap for the captain who was told he was finished.

VICTORY LAP is a bonus novella for the Atlanta Firebirds series: five happily-ever-afters, revisited at full volume. The winning is done. This is the part where they get to keep it.
