Breaking The Ice Between Us Chapter 90
Harper POVThe lecture hall smells like coffee and dry erase markers and too many people who didn’t get enough sleep.I’m already in my seat when Logan walks in late.Of course he does.The door opens halfway through the professor’s sentence, and I don’t look at first. I don’t have to. I feel it—the subtle shift in the room, the way attention drifts, the way a presence like his always seems to pull gravity with it.Then I hear the chair scrape.Two rows behind me. Slightly to the left.I keep my eyes on my notebook.My handwriting immediately gets worse.Focus, I tell myself.This is just class.Not the scene of emotional crimes.Not the place where he stood in my doorway last night and said things that rewired my nervous system.Just class.The professor continues talking about case studies and ethical frameworks. I underline something twice that doesn’t need it.I don’t turn around.But I can feel him there.I can feel the space he takes up like static.Every few minutes, I catch my

Harper POVWhen the door clicks shut behind Logan, the quiet in my room feels louder than the entire house downstairs.I don’t move for a second. I just stand there, staring at the spot where he was, like the air might still be warm enough to prove he didn’t make the whole thing up.He came.Alone.No Cole. No buffer. No carefully curated distance.Just Logan, standing in my doorway with that look on his face—like he’d walked in ready to get torn apart and decided he deserved it.And I did tear into him. A little. Not enough. Not the way I could have.Because the second he said I’m scared, something in me shifted.Not softened. Not forgave.Shifted.Like my body remembered that he’s not only a hockey player and a headline and a set of dumb decisions. He’s a person with a pulse. With fear. With something complicated behind his eyes that isn’t arrogance.I press my palm to my chest, like I can physically hold my heart still.It doesn’t help.The house is still buzzing—someone laughs on
Breaking The Ice Between Us Chapter 88
Logan POVI don’t decide to go to Harper’s.I just… stop not going.I’m sitting on my bed at the Ice House, phone in my hand, staring at her name like it might start blinking if I wait long enough.It doesn’t.Nothing does.No sign from the universe. No sudden clarity. No perfect moment.Just the same pressure in my chest and the same thought I’ve been trying to outrun for weeks:If I don’t go now, I’m going to lose her.I grab my keys and leave before I can talk myself out of it.⸻The drive is too short and too long at the same time.Every red light feels like a chance to bail. Every green one feels like the universe daring me to keep going.By the time I pull up in front of the sorority house, my hands are tight on the steering wheel and my heart is doing something dangerously close to trying to escape my ribs.The house is lit up. Loud. Alive.Girls on the porch. Music somewhere inside. Laughter spilling out the open windows.Normal life.I sit there for a second, watching it.Thi
Breaking The Ice Between Us Chapter 87
Logan POvMy father calls at exactly the wrong time.I’m sitting in my car in the stadium parking lot, engine off, hands still on the steering wheel, staring at nothing.Daniel’s voice is still in my head.You’re not ready.You can’t handle being a brand.They’ll replace you.My phone lights up on the passenger seat.Dad.Of course it is.I don’t answer it.It rings out.Then rings again.I close my eyes and exhale through my nose before picking it up.“What.”“Nice to hear from you too,” he says. “You done with practice?”“Yeah.”“How’d it go?”“Fine.”He snorts. “That usually means it wasn’t.”I don’t respond.He fills the silence the way he always does. “Your coach texted. Said you’re skating tight.”“That’s because he talks too much.”“That’s because you’re thinking too much,” my dad corrects. “Thinking gets you hurt.”I stare at the dash.He keeps going. “You hear about the scouts coming next week?”“Yeah.”“Good,” he says. “About time.”There’s a pause.Then: “You keep your nose

Logan POVThe call comes in while we’re finishing drills.Not a text.Not a message.An actual call.Which means it’s bad.I’m peeling my gloves off when my phone vibrates in my locker.Daniel Meyers.I stare at it for a second, then answer.“Yes?”“My office,” he says. “Now.”Then he hangs up.I exhale slowly and sit there for a second longer than necessary, staring at the floor.Cole stops in front of my locker. “That looked ominous.”“Daniel.”He winces. “Oh.”“Yeah.”We don’t talk on the walk through the stadium halls. The building feels different away from the ice—quieter, heavier. Offices instead of locker rooms. Carpet instead of concrete. The business side of things.The side I hate.When I push open Daniel’s door, I stop short.Cole is already sitting in one of the chairs.He looks up and blinks. “Wow. So this is your fault. I haven’t been called to the principal’s office since I got caught sneaking out sophomore year.”Daniel doesn’t even look at him.“That’s enough,” he say
Breaking The Ice Between Us Chapter 85
Harper POVThe house is loud in the way only a sorority house ever is.Someone is laughing too hard in the living room. The TV is on. A couple of girls are sprawled on the floor with notebooks and highlighters, arguing about something that sounds like it might be biology but might also be a boy. The kitchen smells like popcorn and burned coffee.It’s normal. Familiar. Safe.And I’ve never felt more emotionally drop-kicked in my life.I push the door closed behind me a little too quietly and stand there for a second with my purse still on my shoulder, like I’m not entirely sure where to put myself.My chest feels tight.Not angry. Not exactly.Just… humiliated.“Harper?”Lila’s voice slices through the noise.I look up. She’s on the couch, pretending to watch TV and very obviously not doing that at all. The second her eyes land on my face, her posture changes.“Oh,” she says, standing. “Oh no. That is not a ‘good date’ face.”“It was fine,” I say quickly.She squints. “That sentence is
