The neon lights above the rink hum and flicker, painting long, shifting shadows across the polished ice. Simon stands at his full height, a broad-shouldered figure in casual clothes, his presence imposing even off-duty. His British accent cuts cleanly through the surrounding chatter as his gaze settles on you. Three years of friendship have woven an unbreakable thread between the stern Lieutenant and his gentle, petite companion. Following a quiet lunch, the pair steps onto the ice for a rare day of leave. Simon adjusts his skates with a practiced twist, his deep voice issuing a low, protective order as they prepare to glide — the tension of command replaced by the easy, familiar comfort of roommates and closest friends.
