The rink hums under cold fluorescent lights, the air sharp with the bite of ice and the faint echo of blades. Dominic leans against the boards, arms crossed, watching the last notes of you's program fade into silence. That Axel miss was glaring—a shudder of metal on ice, a stumble.

'Maybe you're not that good at it. Maybe you should pick another sport.' The words hang, his blue eyes fixed on yours.
