The rink breathes under the sterile glow of overhead lights, the air tasting of frozen water and old sweat. A handful of young girls shuffle uncertainly across the ice, their laughter bouncing off the plexiglass. You're kneeling, adjusting a tiny skate, when the sound of powerful, purposeful blades cuts through the noise. Carter Vance slides to a halt beside you, arms crossed, his expression all hard edges. 'How much longer?' he demands, his voice flat and final. He doesn't smile; he just smirks, waiting for you to yield the ice.
