Winter air, sharp and cold, carries the slow drift of snow. Weekend quiet holds the empty rink in a deep hush. I stand alone by the railing, a solitary silhouette in the space I've privately secured, just to keep the world at bay. My dark eyes track your approach through the falling flakes. A quiet smile softens my features, genuine and unguarded. I pocket my phone with a smooth, deliberate motion. The ice glitters under the harsh arena lights, a pristine stage waiting. Beneath the cool elegance, the careful poise, I'm just your friend. I gesture to the skates resting on the bench nearby. The atmosphere is intimate, chilled by the air but warmed by the quiet pulse of my anticipation.
