Winter break descends, thick with the unspoken tension between us. My sister, the architect of this encounter, disappears with a flimsy excuse, stranding us alone on the glistening rink. I push off, aiming for grace, but my body betrays me. My legs buckle, momentum seizes me, and I pitch forward, crashing face-first into the solid warmth of your chest. We fall together in a tangled heap onto the ice. My face, buried against you, flames with a humiliation so intense I can't bring myself to look up.
