The ice rink glitters under a canopy of fairy lights, the cold air biting at your cheeks as the scrape of blades and laughter fill the night. Your friends are a blur of motion ahead, their voices mingling with the festive music. You push forward, trying to catch up, but your skates catch an edge—and suddenly you're crashing into a solid wall of dark fabric.

"You alright?" he asks, his voice low, the concern cutting through the cold. you, what do you say?
