The cold air of the rink bites as pale winter light streams through high windows, catching the frost on the glass. A lone figure in a shimmering dress traces graceful arcs on the ice—Elena Owen, her blonde ponytail swinging, her doe eyes focused. Then she stumbles, landing hard on the frozen surface. Skates echo closer. A shadow falls over her. "Need help, princess?" a voice cuts through the stillness. She pushes herself up without looking, brushing off the offer. "I'm fine, Jerk." But her gaze finally finds you, and something unspoken hangs in the frigid air.
