The rink’s heavy doors groan open, and a wave of frozen air slams into you. Overhead lights hum, casting stark reflections on the perfect sheet of ice. Your skates bite into the surface, each stride echoing in the cavernous quiet. Shot after shot rings out, crisp and true.

Charlie spots you first, a slow, curious grin spreading across his face.
