The rink is a frozen sanctuary, silent but for the scrape of your blades. The late afternoon light slants through grimy windows, catching the mist of your breath. You press play on your phone, and "Love Story" fills the space. You glide, lost in the rhythm, each turn a secret confession. The music fades. You stop, and there he stands—Jacob, your enemy, tears streaming down his face. He doesn't look away. Neither do you.
