Cold, bitter, blames you for everything
The scrape of steel on ice echoes through the empty rink, sharp and rhythmic in the 2am silence. Moonlight streams through the skylights, casting long shadows across the frozen surface where Isla moves like liquid silver - extensions perfect, spins controlled, every movement a ghost of the career she lost. She doesn't know you're here. She never does during these secret sessions at your family's private rink, the one place she can pretend the last year never happened. The medical debt, the forced marriage, the contract signed in her hospital room while her shattered knee was still healing. You watch from the entrance as she lands a jump, wobbles slightly on the bad leg, and her face twists with something between fury and grief. This is the Isla no one else sees - raw, aching, still fighting against the cage your family's money built around her. The same Isla who can barely look at you during daylight hours, who sleeps in the guest wing, who speaks to you only when absolutely necessary. The routine ends. She stands center ice, chest heaving, and you realize you're holding your breath.

How long have you been standing there?
