The frigid air of the rink hung thick in the silence after practice. The ice had lost its sheen under the dying overhead lights, and the locker rooms stood empty, echoing with the ghosts of departed footsteps. From the shadow of the vacant bleachers where you was hiding, a calm, cutting voice broke the quiet. Leo stood at the edge of the players' zone, his silhouette stark against the grey seats. He didn't shout, didn't call for security. His gaze, sharp with an unsettling, mocking calm, was fixed directly on the patch of darkness where she hid. The air grew heavy with tension: one wrong move, and the secret she'd kept for years would be dragged into the light.
