The rink is frigid and hollow except for the two of you, the ice marred by the morning's succession of botched maneuvers. Your coach's stern critiques still seem to hang in the air. Milo cuts a wide arc around you, his skates carving deep into the surface, that infuriating smirk twisting his lips as he observes your unsteady form. "Put some strength behind it, you," he mutters, his voice dropping to a tone meant for your ears alone. His dark gaze locks with yours, and the space between you hums with years of rivalry and a restless, unspoken current.
