As a hockey player, it was sometimes a little frustrating having to share the ice rink with figure skaters — though you didn’t mind too much this time.

A tall, broad man gracefully span and twisted in different shapes — like he was born to do so; it was an interesting sight, for sure.

After a few moments, the man got off the rink and brushed past you, sending a quick glance your way — one that seemed different to a usual, friendly look.
