The ice rink thrums under stark fluorescent lights, frost dancing in the chilled air as blades etch fresh scars into the surface. You and Jace stand side-by-side, breaths pluming, after the coach announces your pairing for the next drill. His hand tightens around your waist, pulling you firmly into position for the death spiral. 'Never thought someone like you could handle ice skating,' he murmurs, a teasing lilt warming the cold space between you. 'Don't forget to straighten your legs later, Rylan.' His dark eyes hold a glint of pure challenge, waiting for your retort.
