Chapter 8: The Approach

Nyra's Pov

I saw him before he saw me.

I arrived early and stayed where I could watch without drawing attention to myself. Graduation ceremonies always followed the same pattern, and people rarely paid attention to anything outside their own space. They were focused on their families, their friends, and the moment in front of them. That made it easy for me to observe without interruption.

I found him quickly.

He stood out even without trying. People still noticed him, b

    Chapter 20: Something Changes Jace's Pov By the time the third week of training started, I could feel the difference in myself, even if I could not explain it clearly.The sessions were still difficult, and my body still struggled to keep up with the pace that used to feel natural to me. The pressure had not reduced, and the expectations had only increased, but the way I reacted to everything had started to change. I was not as quick to get frustrated, and I was not trying to force every movement into place the way I had been doing before.Coach Harris noticed it before I did.“You are starting to trust yourself again,” he said during one of the drills.“I am trying to,” I replied.“That is enough for now,” he said. “You do not need to rush it.”I nodded, even though I knew it was not that simple for me. There was still a part of me that wanted everything to fall back into place immediately, but I was starting to understand that it did not work that way anymore.After training ended

    Chapter 19: Quiet Moment Nyra's Pov I stayed where I was, watching Jace longer than necessary, because there was a difference between seeing someone struggle and understanding how they handled it. Most people reacted to failure in predictable ways, but he did not fully fall into any of them. He was frustrated, but he did not quit, and he was aware of his limitations without accepting them.That balance was difficult to maintain.When he walked toward me, I could already see that he expected something from me, even if he did not know what that was. That expectation was new, and it changed the way I approached the situation.“You stayed,” he said.“Yes,” I replied.“You did not have to,” he said.“I know,” I said.He looked at me for a moment, like he was trying to understand why I was still there.“That was not a good session,” he said.“I saw that,” I replied.He let out a small breath and looked away briefly before facing me again.“You are not going to say anything else?” he asked

    Chapter 18: First CrackJace's PovThe second week of training felt nothing like the first.At the beginning, I could still convince myself that I just needed time to adjust, and that everything would fall back into place if I kept pushing. That idea did not last long once the intensity increased and the expectations became clear.Coach Harris did not lower the standard for me, and he did not treat me like I was recovering. He expected me to keep up, and that meant every mistake stood out more than it should have.I stepped onto the ice that morning already feeling the pressure.“You are late,” he said as I approached.“I am on time,” I replied.“You are late for where you should be,” he said. “Get moving.”I did not argue with him.I pushed off and joined the others, trying to settle into the rhythm as quickly as possible. The drills started immediately, and there was no time to think or adjust slowly.At first, I kept up.My movements felt sharper than they had the previous day, and

    Chapter 17: More AdjustmentsNyra's Pov The moment Aria walked away, I understood that something had shifted.It was not because of what she said, but because of how Jace responded to her. He stayed composed throughout the conversation, but there was tension in the way he held himself, and it did not fade even after she left. That kind of tension did not disappear on its own, and ignoring it would only make it worse.I watched him lean back against the car, his shoulders tight, like he was trying to push the moment away instead of dealing with it directly. I gave him a few seconds before speaking, because rushing him would only make him resist.“You are distracted,” I said.“I am fine,” he replied.“That is not the same thing,” I said.He looked at me then, his expression sharpening slightly.“You always say things like that,” he said. “Like you already know what I am thinking.”“I know what I am seeing,” I replied. “And right now, you are not as steady as you were earlier.”He pushe

    Chapter 16: The Past Shows Up Jace's Pov I thought I had already dealt with Aria.I was wrong.It happened after training, when I was already tired and not in the mood to deal with anything outside of getting home. I had just stepped out of the facility when I saw her leaning against the side of my car like she had been waiting there for a while.I stopped walking.She pushed herself off the car and faced me properly.“You were going to leave without saying anything again?” she asked.I let out a slow breath. “I did not know you were here.”“You could have guessed,” she said.“That is not how that works,” I replied.She crossed her arms, watching me carefully.“You have been avoiding me,” she said.“I have been busy,” I replied.“That is not the same thing,” she said.I walked closer and stopped a few steps away from her.“What do you want, Aria?” I asked.“I want to understand what is going on,” she said. “One minute you are ignoring me, and the next minute I see you with her like

    Chapter 15: More attention Jace's Pov By the next morning, it was worse.I did not even need to open anything to know that people were talking. My phone kept lighting up with messages, missed calls, and notifications that I had no interest in checking. I left it on the table and walked away from it, but that did not change anything.Mason noticed immediately.“You are going to ignore all of that?” he asked as he leaned against the counter.“Yes,” I replied.“That is not going to make it disappear,” he said.“I am not trying to make it disappear,” I said. “I just do not feel like dealing with it right now.”He watched me for a moment before walking closer.“So it is true then,” he said. “You and her.”I glanced at him. “You saw it.”“Everyone saw it,” he replied. “That is why I am asking.”I let out a slow breath. “Yes,” I said. “It is true.”He studied my face carefully.“That did not sound convincing,” he said.“It is not supposed to sound convincing,” I replied. “It just has to be
