Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance Uh-Oh
POV: Silver PrestonThe morning after the game feels like waking up inside someone else's fever dream, where everything carries the surreal afterglow of victory and celebration that hasn't quite worn off yet.I emerge from restless sleep to find Americus sprawled across her own bed like a sequined starfish, still wearing the glittery top from last night's afterparty and scrolling through her phone with the dedicated focus of someone curating the perfect social media narrative.She hums fragments of what sound like victory songs, occasionally punctuating the melody with small squeals of delight as she discovers new photos from the evening's festivities.Riley has claimed her usual position at the desk, wrapped in a soft cardigan and nursing a steaming mug of chamomile tea while pretending to focus on her philosophy reading.But I can tell from the way her eyes keep flicking toward Americus that she's definitely absorbing every word of the ongoing commentary.The morning light streaming
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance Riley's Moment
POV: Silver PrestonThe chants still echo in my head long after the final buzzer silenced the Whale.HA-YES! HA-YES! HA-YES!The rhythmic thunder of hundreds of voices follows me out into the crisp October night, through the stream of celebrating students pouring from Ingalls Rink, and all the way down the tree lined streets toward the hockey house where post game tradition demands the team and half of campus continue the celebration until the early morning hours.The temperature has dropped significantly since we entered the arena, autumn asserting its presence with the kind of sharp clarity that makes every breath visible and turns cheeks pink within minutes of exposure.Street lamps cast golden circles of light across sidewalks scattered with fallen leaves, and the Gothic spires of Yale's residential colleges loom against the star filled sky like ancient sentinels watching over the nocturnal migration of students seeking post victory festivities.Americus practically bounces down t
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance Number 27
POV: Silver Preston The game's pace is immediate and relentless.Bodies into the boards. The puck moving faster than my eyes want to track, that black disk ricocheting between sticks and off the glass with sounds that carry all the way to the upper sections.Yale dominates possession in the opening minutes but the other team, Cornell, pushes back hard along the boards and through the neutral zone with the defensive discipline of a program that has been doing this for a long time.I watch Eli.I tell myself I am just tracking the game, getting familiar with hockey as a sport I have never paid serious attention to before.This is not entirely true.In figure skating, edge work is everything. The angle of the blade against the ice, the precision of the turn, the distribution of weight through a curve. I have spent my entire life developing the ability to read ice and read bodies on ice, to see what the edge is doing and understand what the skater is asking of it.Watching Eli Hayes play
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance Ha-Yes
POV: Silver PrestonAmericus has been building toward this game like it is the culmination of a years-long spiritual journey."The season opener is a rite of passage," she announces from her position sprawled across our dorm room floor, carefully painting her nails in Yale blue with the focused attention she usually reserves for costume design homework. "You cannot legitimately call yourself a Yale student until you have screamed yourself hoarse in the Whale. It is written somewhere in the unofficial handbook."I sit cross-legged on my bed with textbooks open around me in a arrangement that is more performance than actual studying.Riley has taken the desk chair and built a small fortress out of philosophy papers, occasionally nodding to signal she is half listening.Americus's speaker cycles through what she calls her game day playlist, which appears to be an equal mix of pump-up anthems and Broadway numbers, a combination that should not work and somehow does."So," I say, after the
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance Because I Know
POV: Eli HayesI should have gone straight back to the house.Practice ran long. Coach Tillman kept the defensemen on the ice an extra forty minutes working transition drills, the kind of repetitive, grinding session that leaves your legs feeling like wet concrete. My shoulder aches the way it always does after heavy contact work, the deep specific ache that lives in the joint where the labrum repair sits.The injury that almost ended everything before Yale.The injury nobody here knows about because I came to Yale to play hockey, not to be someone's cautionary tale.I have my bag over one shoulder and my helmet in my hand and I am heading back toward the athletic complex exit when I see her through the window.Silver Preston, leaving Sterling Memorial Library into the middle of what has gone from a light snowfall to something significantly more serious in the last hour.She has her head down against the wind, hands shoved into her coat pockets, moving across the courtyard with the par
Ice & Ivy - A Hockey Romance You Don't Know Me
POV: Silver Preston I do not know what is worse.Dr. Carter's quiet certainty delivered with professional compassion that makes a death sentence sound like a reasonable medical opinion, or Americus's eyes watching me from the chair across the office, waiting for something I cannot give her without lying.So I lie.I'm fine.The words taste like nothing. Hollow and familiar, the verbal equivalent of a performance smile held two counts past the music.I walk back to Branford. I go up to the room. I sit on my bed for approximately four minutes staring at the wall before I reach into the back of my closet and pull out the bag I shoved there on move-in day and have not touched since.My figure skates are exactly where I left them.The leather is stiff from months of disuse. The blades need sharpening. The laces have that particular texture of something that has been tied and untied thousands of times and remembers every one of them.I lace them up anyway.Ingalls feels different in the la
