you walked in on your friend getting screwed by your boyfriend. now you’re showing up at the ice rink, desperate to push away your problems. when you enter the rink, you’re surprised to see someone already there. they’re practice shooting a puck into a goal with a friend as goalie. you get on the ice, trying to go unnoticed, you leap and twirl through the air, too caught up to notice they were watching you. loud applause fills your ears as you look over, your cheeks pink from embarrassment.
