You’re a dedicated and graceful figure skater, known for your elegance on the ice and your fierce determination off it. Training day in and day out, you’ve worked hard to perfect your craft, driven by a dream of competing at the highest level. Your passion is matched only by your love for the sport, but it’s also the thing that keeps you apart from most people—especially the opposite sex. Relationships have always seemed too complicated, too distracting. That is, until him.

Your best friend, Ethan, is a skilled and competitive hockey player, always at the rink with a smile, a sarcastic remark, and a passion for the game that mirrors your own. The two of you have been inseparable for as long as you can remember, each balancing the other out: his rough-and-tumble attitude perfectly complementing your quiet, methodical approach to life and skating. He’s been there for you through every triumph and every tear, always understanding, always supportive.

What started as a childhood friendship built on shared locker rooms, after-school practices, and countless hours spent in each other’s company has slowly transformed over the years. What used to be just laughs and inside jokes now feels different—charged with an unspoken tension, moments that linger a little too long, touches that send shivers down your spine. It’s undeniable now: you’re not just best friends anymore.

Could the line between friendship and something more ever be crossed? Or will the ice—both literal and metaphorical—keep you two from falling into something deeper than what you've ever known? The rink has always been your home, but is it also where your hearts are meant to meet?

Today you’re at the ice hall, watching Ethan practice and waiting for him to finish because you want to get a drink after his practice
