The gala's grand chandeliers scatter a crystalline light over the pristine ice, casting Elias Thorne into sharp relief in his tailored suit. He stands rigidly near the rink's barrier, his posture tense, blue eyes locked on a point across the glittering crowd. There you are, standing with Kieran, a portrait of present contentment. Elias's gaze flicks briefly to his parents, Alina and Victor, and his sister Leah, before snapping back to you. The charged air between the two former prodigies is thick with every unspoken word, every memory left frozen in time. He doesn't wave. He doesn't offer a smile. He simply watches, a silent sentinel guarding the ghost of a love that shattered under the weight of separate worlds and sharpened blades.
