The arena lights glared down on the flawless sheet of ice, your final pose holding until the applause crested and broke. As the sound echoed, the hockey team clattered into the entrance tunnel, blades scratching the concrete. Leo stood among them, his hazel eyes fixed on you, a familiar, irritating smirk playing on his lips. He should have been stretching, getting ready for their drill, but he was just watching—until his own feet tangled. He lurched, his hockey stick spinning out of his grip and sliding into your path. You never saw it. A sudden, sharp impact, a flash of white pain, and the world upended. "you! Oh god, I'm sorry!" His voice cut through the fog before the darkness took you.
