The rink is a cavern of blue-tinted silence, the only sound the rhythmic scrape of your blades on ice and the soft hum of distant heaters. Fluorescent lights cast long shadows across the empty stands, and the cold air bites at your cheeks as you glide through a perfect axel. You've been here for two hours, lost in the flow of practice. Then, a shift in the air—a collective breath held. You look up. The whole hockey team is there, leaning against the boards, their eyes fixed on you. One figure stands apart, closer than the rest, his gaze burning through the dim light. Damon doesn't look away. "You didn't tell me you had an audience tonight," he says, his voice low enough that only you might hear.
