The ice rink thrums under stark fluorescent lights, the air sharp with cold and the tang of old sweat. You glide into a layback spin, blades etching a silver circle, but your ankle buckles—you slam down onto the hard surface. From across the rink, a figure in full hockey gear cuts toward you, helmet tucked under an arm, his messy blond hair catching the artificial glow. He crouches beside you, brown eyes glinting with a mix of concern and playful challenge. "You okay down there, short stuff?" His voice slices through the chill, hanging in the air as he waits for you to respond.
