The cold air bit into my lungs as I continued to jog across the extremely large parking lot while scanning for Skylar’s familiar shape in the crowd. My chest was already tight from the game, but this was different…this was panic, raw and hot.

I finally spotted her near the far end of the lot, her shoulders hunched against the wind, June walking right beside her like some bodyguard. Skylar’s steps were quick, clipped, like she couldn’t get away fast enough.

“Skylar!” I quickly called out, my voice cutting through the hum of engines and chatter.

She didn’t turn.

Of course she didn’t.

June, though…she twisted her head and spotted me. Her expression lit up with something between amusement and murder.

Great, I thought wryly and then sighed. Fucking great.

I pushed harder, sneakers pounding against the asphalt, helmet still clutched under my arm like a damn fool who hadn’t bothered to put it away.

When I was close enough, I reached out. “Skylar, wait. Please, wait.”

She flinched, barely g

  • Skating With Hearts    Chapter 75 Skylar’s Pov

    By the time June finally set her fork down with a dramatic sigh and announced she was “done stuffing her soul with grease,” I could feel my whole body tense. Not because of the food—we’d all eaten enough to sink a ship—but because I knew what came next.I couldn't help thinking about what he had said in the parking lot again and again:Give me one chance to prove I mean it. One chance to show you you’re not just Ethan’s sister to me.My own response to him also ran in circles in my mind: Fine. You have one chance, Ryans. Don’t waste it.Thinking about what we had said to each other in the parking lot made me swallow hard and lick my surprisingly dry lips. June’s eyes kept flicking between me and Ryans like she was some undercover cupid on a secret mission. She smirked after some moments and then said, “Well, I think my cue is here. I’ll let you two… lovebirds handle the next scene.” She wiggled her brows at me before standing up.“June…” I started, but she was already grabbing her

    The walk from the rink to the little diner down the street wasn’t long, but with Skylar quiet at my side and June humming some off-key tune like she was narrating our misery, it felt like a marathon.The night air was sharp, the kind that sank into your lungs and stung, but I barely noticed. My head was buzzing too much. Every few steps, I risked a glance at Skylar. Her face was still kinda tight and her arms were wrapped around herself as she walked. She didn’t even look at me, not once.June, of course, noticed. She always noticed. “Wow. You two are giving me major soap opera vibes right now. All that drama back there, the brooding silence, the pained looks. Somebody cue the background violins.”Skylar shot her a glare. “June, please.”“What? I’m just saying.” June grinned, falling into step on her other side like she was her personal hype squad. “He messed up. He’s groveling. You’re making him sweat. It’s romantic in a dysfunctional kind of way.”“June,” I muttered, pinching the b

    The second Skylar turned on her heel, it felt like the ice under my skates had given way.I watched her weave into the crowd with her shoulders stiff, her head low and her hair bouncing with each determined step that she took. I wanted to call after her, wanted to chase her down right then, but my voice caught in my throat and I couldn't say anything.Instead, I muttered the dumbest thing imaginable.“What just happened?” I asked to no one in particular.June spun on me so fast, her hair whipping over her shoulder like a whip crack. She planted her hands on her hips, her eyes wide in a mixture of disbelief and fury. “Are you being serious right now?”I blinked hard at her. “Yeah, I mean…she just—”June threw her arms in the air. “Oh my God. You are serious. You are actually fucking serious. Wow. I thought you were smart, Ryans. Like, hockey genius smart. But socially? You’re a whole brick wall.”I frowned, heat rising to my face. “What are you even talking about?”June’s laugh was s

    The silence that stretched between us for some moments was suffocating.The arena was still buzzing with post-game noise—chants echoing, people shuffling toward the exits, the squeak of sneakers on concrete—but for me, it all blurred. My eyes flicked between Ryans’ hand still clasped in hers and the delicate smile curving the stranger’s lips. I didn’t know which unsettled me more.Beside me, June nudged my arm hard. “Say something,” she hissed under her breath, eyes darting between me and them like she was watching the juiciest soap opera unfold live.My mouth felt glued shut. Every instinct screamed at me to just stand here, pretend invisible, and maybe dissolve into the crowd. But June nudged again, and I finally swallowed down the lump in my throat.“Uh,” I managed, voice cracking slightly. “Thank you. Again. For…helping me that day. Thank you.”The woman—God, she was even more stunning up close—turned her full attention to me. Her eyes were this soft, almond brown, warm but unrea

    I watched as the lady’s hand slid into his so smoothly, like it belonged there and my breath hitched. The rink, with its echoing shouts and the clatter of skates against concrete, suddenly dimmed around me. All I could see was that delicate grip—her slim fingers wrapped around his right hand as though she’d been doing it forever.And Ryans didn’t pull away.His whole face lit up instead. His lips parted into a shock and then grin that wasn’t the usual teasing smirk or half-grin he tossed at people casually. No. This one was real, wide, unguarded.“You came,” he said, his voice low and brimming with excitement and happiness all at once. The young woman—God, she was beautiful—tilted her head, dark hair spilling like silk over her shoulders. Her answer was soft, ladylike, so quiet under the noise that I couldn’t hear the words. But the way Ryans leaned into her as if her voice mattered more than the chaos of victory songs around us, made my stomach twist painfully.June blinked, popcor
