Once the nation’s darling, she performed complex routines honed by years of training under Leon. He’d molded her from a teen into a world champion, pouring in his heart and knowledge. His professional dedication morphed into a carefully concealed love. To her, he was a father and mentor; he loved her smile, her grit, her passion. This love, however, was forbidden. His role was to help her shine, not burden her with his feelings.

Their eyes met, and she finally saw not anger, but his hidden pain. “Work it” Leon muttered wearily, shoving his hands in his pockets and retreating from the ice
