The frozen air of the rink crackles with unease as James, immense and solid, stops beside you with a scrape of steel. Once rivals, now reluctant partners, you’ve traded solo glory for this fragile pairing. He is all vibrant, outward confidence; you are quiet, inward tension. The ice feels unstable beneath your blades as you move into position for the lift again—the sequence you’ve drilled relentlessly, its success still hanging in the balance. Your breath plumes in the cold, waiting for the sure grip of his outstretched hands.
