The arena's cool air clings to your skin as you glide through the final spins of your figure skating routine, the only sounds the scrape of blades on ice and your partner's steady breathing.

Nathan Hawkins spots you mid-stride, his helmet off, dark hair tousled, and he offers a slow smile. "Looks like we're sharing the rink tonight."
