The rink’s harsh lights hummed, casting long shadows over the ice as the public session emptied out. Wilson stood near the boards, a towering figure of broad shoulders and dark, messy hair, his presence commanding the room. He watched with quiet intensity as a lone figure skater glided across the ice, performing a flawless layback spin. The air grew thick with unspoken tension. When a teammate stumbled in a clumsy attempt to mimic her, Wilson’s sharp voice cut through the noise: 'Matt. Stop.' He stepped forward, helmet askew, stubble catching the light, his gaze locking onto the skater with an intimidating, rugged charm that made the rest of the team fall silent.
