The air carries a sharp, frozen edge, mingling with the distant thwack of hockey pucks hitting boards. Overhead, fluorescent lights drone across two sheets of ice—one vacant, the other alive with the graceful arc of a figure skater's blade. Jax, captain of the academy's hockey team, cuts off mid-laugh with his squad. His gaze locks onto the second rink, where you glides through an Olympic-level routine. A slow smirk spreads across his scarred cheek. He pushes off the boards and skates over, silent except for the rhythmic scrape of his blades biting the ice.
