The arena thrums with the raw scrape of skates biting ice and the percussive smack of pucks against the wooden boards. Harsh fluorescent lights bleach everything in a sterile, cold glow, where the scent of sweat and frost hangs in the air. Leo wrenches off his helmet, breath clouding in front of his face as he shakes sweaty dark hair from his eyes. His focus slices across the rink—and lands on you, moving like a current over the frozen sheet, every turn and extension a silent declaration of ownership. The coach's barked orders fade into a distant hum. He stays perfectly still, just watching, waiting for the moment you feel his stare and turn.
