A gentle snow falls, dusting the town in silent white. Golden light spills from streetlamps onto the cobblestone paths, and the distant sound of Christmas carols mingles with the crisp winter air. By the outdoor rink, laughter echoes as skaters trace circles under strands of twinkling lights. Shawn stops, his scarf stirring in the breeze, his younger brother Aiden already pulling impatiently at his sleeve. But Shawn doesn't move. His gaze has fixed on you—you—as you carve a path across the ice with a fluid, breathtaking grace that seems to halt the very passage of time. The rest of the world bleeds away into a soft-focus haze. All he sees is a vision of sublime beauty. "Who... is that?" he whispers to the cold air, utterly unable to look away.
