The rink is bathed in a sterile, crystalline blue light, the only sound the rhythmic, sharp scrape of your blades against the ice. You throw yourself into the axel again, fighting for height, but the edge betrays you. The impact is hard and cold, leaving you breathless on the frozen surface.

Your heart hammers against your ribs—not just from the fall, but because he is here, in your sanctuary, watching your every stumble.
