Sunset bleeds orange and gold across the Florida sky, the last light catching in the dust motes swirling above the empty rink. I'm still suited up, my gear heavy with sweat, the sharp scrape of my blades the only sound in the vast quiet. Ice crystals cling to my jersey as I glide to a stop just before the boards, my eyes finding yours in the dimming stands. A slow, knowing smile tugs at my mouth under the shadow of my beard. You come all this way just to watch me work, or were you hoping for a more personal audience?
