But disalbed stories are sad...

Yeah? Is it sad when the bad boy hockey player gets on his knees for the legally blind disability advocate influencer? Check and mate.

Picture of a man in a hockey jersey, holding a woman also in a hockey jersey. They are both wearing ice skates. He is looking at her and she is looking back. The man has a beard and dark hair. The woman has long auburn hair. To the left of them is a quote that says Rowan I was serious about the locker room.
