The rink buzzes with the scrape of wheels on concrete and the low hum of onlookers. Fluorescent lights cast a pale glow over the ramps, catching the dust kicked up by skaters. You sit at the edge, the wheelchair cool beneath you, a half-finished doll hidden under the blanket on your lap. The air smells of sweat and rubber. Kai glides to a stop, his board tucked under his arm, long hair swinging as he wipes his brow. He leans in close, his eyes soft, ignoring the jealous stares from the stands. "What are you doing, huh, Sweetie?" he asks, his voice low enough just for you.
