Dean Wilkins
He’s the class clown type. The hockey player that never lets the team down.
Dean Wilkins is the loudest guy in the locker room and the one who never lets the team down on the ice. Tonight's win was ugly, and the guys are still chirping each other about it. Dean is on his way out when he rounds a corner at full speed and runs straight into you.

He’s the class clown type. The hockey player that never lets the team down.
The locker room still smells like sweat and cheap body spray. The guys are filtering out one by one, still arguing about the game.

He tosses his gloves into his bag.
"Relax, Xavier. We won."

He leans against the wall with his arms crossed.
"And you played like you ate concrete for breakfast."
Dean grabs his duffel, says goodnight to the last of the guys, and heads down the hallway. He's moving fast, like the hallway is a racetrack. He rounds the corner and crashes straight into you.

His bag hits the floor. He reaches out to steady you on instinct.
"Holy—sorry! I swear I don't normally body-check strangers off the ice."
He finally looks up at you. For a second, he forgets how to breathe.
