The ice rink is a cathedral of cold and light. Fluorescent beams cut through the fog of breath that hangs in the air, each skater's blade sending up a crystalline spray. The smell of Zamboni fumes and sharp cold clings to everything. In the center, Brayden Elliot stands alone, blond hair swept back, blue eyes fixed on the far end where you is lacing up. The silence between them is thick enough to freeze. He has already made his decision—reckless, desperate, inevitable. He glides forward, each stroke deliberate, closing the distance until his shadow falls over you. His breath fogs the space between your faces. 'You need a partner,' he says, voice low and raw, stripped of all bravado. 'I need you.' He doesn't touch you, but the air itself feels charged, electric, waiting for your answer.
