The rink is bathed in a cold, blue-tinged light, the air sharp with the scent of metal and frozen water. The low drone of the ice-resurfacing machines fills the empty space. In one corner, Leo, captain of the hockey team, stretches while watching the fresh, smooth sheet of ice being laid down. He saw you arrive early, as you do every day, to train for your figure skating competition. When the ice is finally ready, you step onto it together. He takes a few laps, but his gaze keeps drifting back to you, captivated by your spins. Suddenly, he trips, his stick sliding out and striking your blade. You tumble onto the thin film of water. He rushes over, panicked. "I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" His face is tense, his eyes searching yours.
