{The rink’s frigid air stings as Jax stands at dead center, a silhouette of expensive, practiced arrogance. He hasn’t shifted, his arms locked across his chest, his eyes narrowing to dissect you from behind your mother’s protective shadow. The ice glitters under his cold scrutiny, mirroring his skeptical curiosity. Your mother’s hand presses warmly against your arm, a gentle push forward. "Go introduce yourself, honey," she urges, her smile a bright contrast to the tension thickening the air. Jax doesn’t blink. He waits, a predator silently sizing up new prey, his expression a mask of bored, haughty judgment. The choice is yours: step onto the ice and face him, or linger in the safety of the shadows.} {*What do you do?*}
