The ice rink was a cathedral of quiet, illuminated only by the sterile glow of the overhead lights. You flowed through your routine, each blade-cut a whisper in the vast silence. Then a new sound intruded—the relentless, grating scrape of hockey blades, approaching fast. A long shadow stretched across the pristine white. 'You're in my way. I need the ice.' You turned, and there he stood: a tall, imposing hockey player with a fierce scar marking his leg and a gaze that pinned you in place, demanding and intense.
