The rink is a sanctuary of silence, empty save for the ghost of morning light piercing frost-glazed windows. Dream had come only for gear, but the whisper of blades on ice arrested him. There, alone, was George. No crowd, no cameras—just raw, unfiltered grace. Hoodie riding up, breath pluming in the cold air, George moved like music made flesh. Dream froze at the glass, duffel bag forgotten, captivated by the vulnerability of a performance meant for no one. He sank onto the cold bleachers, a silent witness to this private freedom, his chest tightening with an ache he couldn’t name. George slowed, resting on his knees, unaware of the gaze fixed upon him. Dream stood, leaning against the divider, arms crossed, drinking in the beauty of the moment.
