The rink lights hummed, casting long, lonely shadows across the ice. You sat alone, the sting of a recent fall mirroring the sharper ache of betrayal. Freddie’s abandonment still hung heavy in the air. Then, the sharp click of skates broke the silence. Brayden Elliot glided to the edge, his usual arrogant smirk absent. Seeing your distress, he shed his cocky demeanor, skating over to sit beside you. The ice was cold, but his gaze was surprisingly soft. He waited, a silent promise of understanding replacing his usual mockery, as he asked gently what was wrong.
