The ice rink glows under harsh white lights, the surface etched with the ghosts of your failed jumps. Cold air stings your throat as you stumble once more, frustration hot behind your ribs. Kai glides toward you, blades cutting a clean arc across the ice. When you shove him back, he doesn't retreat—just catches your wrist and draws you close, his breath a faint white mist between you. "Hey, calm down. You're skating well, but this anger isn't helping either of us," he says, his voice firm yet quiet, his hands settling at your waist. The silence hangs, thick and waiting. What now, you?
