Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance Valentine
POV: Silver PrestonThe party begins to break apart after that peak.Someone turns the music louder. Conversations drift into smaller clusters. The intensity of the circle disperses into the ambient noise of people wanting to pretend the last five minutes were just a game.I leave as soon as I can do it without looking like I am running.The Gothic corridor is cooler than the common room and quieter, the noise dropping behind me as the heavy wooden door swings shut.I press my back against the stone wall.Close my eyes for two seconds.Open them.Eli is already there.He is leaning against the medieval stonework a few feet away, arms crossed, watching me with the expression he uses when he has something to say and has not yet decided whether to spend it."You think that was amusing?" he asks. Low. Measured. Sharp underneath."It was a dare. A stupid party game.""That wasn't a game." He pushes off the wall and takes one step toward me. "That was you handing him exactly what he came he
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance The Dare
POV: Silver PrestonTruth or dare never ends well.Especially when the truth stings worse than any lie.Weston does not let the silence breathe for long.He leans back from the stillness he just created and claps his hands once, the sound cutting through the charged atmosphere of the common room like something deliberate."Let's make this more interesting. Truth or dare."The predictable protests rise and dissolve. Nobody here has figured out how to say no to him, and tonight is not going to be the night that changes.Weston's pale gaze moves across the circle.It lands on me."Truth or dare, Valentine?"The nickname lands wrong.Possessive and casual at the same time, the kind of thing you say to someone you have already decided belongs to you. I feel it like a hand I did not invite.Every instinct I have says choose truth.A question can be deflected, shaped, minimized. A dare removes the option entirely.I lift my chin."Dare."Weston's smile stretches into something that belongs l
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance What He Watches
POV: Eli HayesEvery head in the room turns toward Silver.Not toward me.Not toward Carroway.Toward Silver.That single collective motion tells me everything about what this room has assembled as common knowledge over the course of one semester - more than I would have thought possible from the outside, and completely obvious from the inside. People notice things. People talk. Apparently people have been talking about us for weeks without either of us realizing how thin the walls had become.I look at her.She is not looking at her can. She is not looking at the floor, at Americus, or at the exit - all the places a person looks when they want to disappear.She is looking at me.Her eyes are doing the thing they do when something real is happening and she is deciding whether to manage it. I have seen that particular calculation before, the flicker of calm laid over something faster underneath, and I know better than to mistake it for indifference.We are in a circle of approximately
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance What The Room Understands
POV: Silver Preston"Never have I ever," Weston says, his voice dropping to the register he uses when he is about to make something land, "kissed someone when I didn't mean it."His pale eyes move to me.One precise beat.Then away, as if the look was incidental.It was not incidental.Around the circle, groans and nervous laughter surface. Several drinks go up. The room relaxes slightly, reading it as a general confession prompt.I sit with my unopened can in my hands.Eli is watching me from across the circle.I can feel the specific quality of his attention without looking directly at it, the same way you can feel cold off ice before you step onto it.I think about Weston's practiced kiss that felt like something performed for an audience of one. My own stillness in the moment before I understood what I actually wanted.I raise my can.I take one slow deliberate sip.Weston's expression settles into the particular satisfaction of someone who has just confirmed a hypothesis.The rou
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance Never Have I Ever
POV: Silver PrestonDistraction is the only cure for anger.That is what I tell myself when Americus shoves a tube of deep red lipstick into my hand and announces, with the finality of someone who has already decided, that I am coming to the party tonight."I'm really not in the--"She has already moved to my closet.She pulls clothes without asking while I stand in the middle of our room still holding the lipstick like evidence of something I did not agree to."You've been pacing this room like a Gothic heroine for two days," she says, not looking up. "You need noise and people and the kind of night that makes your own problems feel small by comparison."I want to tell her I need the opposite of that.What I actually need is quiet enough to process everything that happened in that corridor. Leona's words finding every existing crack. Eli's yes that landed like something solid. My own response, which I still cannot fully look at directly without feeling something collapse in my chest.
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance What She Does With It
POV: Eli HayesShe turns on me before Leona's heels have fully faded."What the hell was that supposed to accomplish?"I blink.Not because the response surprises me, exactly. But because of the specific shape of it, the way the pressure of the last ten minutes has redirected toward the nearest available target, which is me.I know this shape.It is the shape of someone who has been held under tension for too long and releases it at the first safe object rather than the source.I am apparently the first safe object."I was trying to--""You don't get to do that."Her voice is shaking at the edges with everything she held back during the exchange."You don't get to step in and manage my family dynamics like you have any idea what you're dealing with.""I wasn't trying to manage anything. I couldn't just stand there and watch--""Yes, you could have."She cuts across me.Her eyes are bright with everything she refused to give her mother."It is my life. My fight to have with my own moth
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance The Fall
POV: Silver PrestonThe ice looks too clean to be real.I've skated on plenty of rinks. Cramped training facilities with flickering fluorescents. Outdoor ponds that crack under winter sun. Even the gleaming Olympic oval in Colorado Springs, where dreams feel as tangible as morning frost.But this?
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance Cobblestones
POV: Silver PrestonUp close, Yale looms even larger than it did from the shuttle window.The Gothic spires press into the late afternoon sky, their shadows cutting long and dark across the courtyards below. I have competed in arenas built specifically to intimidate, designed with high ceilings and
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance Who Are You Without the Ice
POV: Silver PrestonShe looks like she just stepped out of a board meeting.Perfectly pressed navy blazer without a wrinkle. Blonde hair pulled back in the same severe chignon she wore at the arena. Makeup completely intact despite however many hours she spent in a waiting room down the hall.Leona
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance The Diagnosis
POV: Silver PrestonThe world comes back in pieces.First, the sound.A steady electronic pulse that echoes from somewhere far away, then closer, then inside my skull.Beep. Beep. Beep.Each tone feels like a small hammer tapping against my consciousness, dragging me back from whatever dark place m
