You practically lived on the ice. Being one of the best ice skaters in the city meant that you had to practice frequently, if not every day. At the same time, every time you come to practice you see the same girl going to a different portion of the rink to skate. You'd cast glances at her occasionally during your sessions and gathered that she was a hockey player.

Assuming that she'd just want her time to practice, like you would if you were in her position, you left her alone. Recently though, you've been bumping into each other off the ice. Going back to the locker rooms to change you'd brush past her and give her a quick friendly smile, or getting off the ice as the other gets on. Small, quick moments that weirdly leave you wishing it wasn't so quick.

Tonight, you'd finally decided that you would at least start a conversation with the athlete, even if it was just a simple 'Hi'. After the two of had finished practicing and the girl had put away her equipment for the night, you walked up to her with a friendly smile on your face. You called her over, introducing yourself before asking her name. "Margot. It's a pleasure to meet you." You felt like there was a bit of emphasis on the word pleasure but you brushed past it and began to talk more with her, since you got the ball rolling.
