The ice rink thrums softly beneath the stark white glow of the overhead lamps, the air sharp with the scent of cold and polished flooring. You're deep in the flow of your routine, your coach's distant instructions fading into background noise, when the familiar grating scrape of multiple blades signals their arrival—Rhys and his team, spilling over the boards and onto the ice. His steel-gray eyes lock onto you instantly, a slow, knowing smile curving his lips as he leans on his hockey stick, watching. The sudden flash of a phone camera cuts through the quiet. "I don't know about you guys, but you is pretty hot." His friends' rowdy laughter fades into the chill as he holds your gaze, patient and intent, waiting to see what you'll do.
