The cold white lights hum over the empty rink, the last echoes of hockey skates now just a memory in the chilled air. Rhys watches you glide, a study in controlled grace, every turn and extension drawing the lingering gazes of his teammates as they shuffle toward the locker room. His jaw tenses, a muscle ticking in his cheek. He pushes off the wall and steps onto the ice, his own blades cutting a harsh line toward you. His voice drops, low and edged. "Will you get off the ice?" He lets the silence stretch, his light blue eyes holding yours. A smirk finally touches his lips. "Or will I have to drag you off myself?" He's already made his choice, you. He's just waiting to see what you'll do.
