His lips met mine again, slower this time, like he was savoring it. Not rushing. Not taking. Just… feeling me. My breath tangled with his, my hands clutching his shirt as if letting go might undo this moment.He rested his forehead against mine once more, his thumb brushing my cheek in a way that made my chest ache.“God, Ivy,” he murmured softly, almost like a confession. “You have no idea what you do to me.”I closed my eyes, letting myself feel it… ho

Where the ice melts Fear
IVY POVFinally… the exams were over. My brain felt like mush, my body heavy, and my emotions all over the place.I wasn’t even sure if I did well. I kept thinking about my grades, wondering if all the tears, the heartbreak, and the late nights had messed everything up. My goal… I needed at least a 6:9. No.. zmy goal was a 7:5. I had to hit that.I shook my head, trying to push the worries away. There was nothing I could do now. All I could do was hope. Hope that the hard work, the stress, the sleepless nights weren’t wasted.And then… it done on me today was the day. today was the school final hockey game.My stomach flipped.I hadn’t seen Ronan in weeks. I didn’t even know if he would show. But I couldn’t stop myself from hoping. Maybe today, I’d see him. Maybe… things could feel different again, at least for a little while. Maybe he missed me.It was the final match of the year… Frostmont versus PK hockey team. My stomach
Where the ice melts Cost of protection
IVY POVI kept walking, but my steps slowed, my thoughts tangling.At home.The exams were brought to him.That meant he really wasn’t coming back. Not for finals. Not for graduation. Not for me.My chest ached, sharp and deep, and I pressed my lips together, refusing to cry in the middle of campus. I’d done enough of that this past week—late at night, face buried in my pillow, where no one could hear me break.He didn’t even come to say goodbye.I hated how that thought hurt more than the breakup text.Zoe caught up to me near the library. “Ivy?” she said gently. “You okay?”I nodded too fast. “Yeah. Just… tired.”She didn’t believe me, but she didn’t push. Max walked beside us in silence, his presence steady, grounding. I was grateful for that. If I spoke, I might fall apart.All day, the thought stayed with me. Ronan alone in that big house. Ronan writing exams somewhere far away from me. Ron
Where the ice melts When the dark moves
IVY POVAt Last! Finally!Finally… exam week. Just a week left, and my college life will be over. It was hard to believe it had come so fast. A mix of relief and panic bubbled in my chest. I wanted to celebrate, but it had been a roller coaster of emotions for me these past weeks.I got ready slowly that morning, choosing a casual outfit… a simple blouse and jeans. Something comfortable, something that didn’t require too much effort. Today was Corporate Law, the course I needed for my internship and law school applications. Important, yes, but my mind kept wandering.I stared at myself in the mirror for a moment, brushing my hair, taking a deep breath. I told myself to focus. Exams first. Ronan… I couldn’t think about him. Not today. Not when my future was on the line.As I left my apartment, the city humming around me, I felt the emptiness he’d left. His texts, his calls… nothing. Not a single sign of him since that day.Not a sign f
Where the ice melts Fire under skin
IVY POVI stayed in Zoe’s arms longer than I realized, letting the tears fall freely. Max stood beside us, arms crossed, jaw tight, staring at the floor like he wanted to punch something… but I didn’t care. I didn’t care about anything except the ache in my chest and the hollow space he left behind.“I can’t believe he just… left,” I whispered, voice trembling. “After everything… after… us.”Zoe rubbed my back gently. “Ivy… he’s a mess. And if he can’t talk to you about whatever the problem is that’s on him. You don’t need to cry over that asshole.”I sniffled and wiped my cheeks. “I don’t know Zoe… first time letting myself live after so long and this is what I get. And I—” I choked on the words, “I can’t stop thinking about him.”Max’s gaze softened a little, and he stepped closer. “Ivy… you need to let yourself feel this. Cry it out. Be mad, sad, whatever. But don’t… don’t let him put you in a box filled with sadness and negative thoug
Where the ice melts Weight of being seen
IVY POVIt’s been a week since Ronan broke up with me.No calls.No texts.Nothing.He canceled all our tutoring sessions without a single explanation, like I never existed at all.I sat quietly in Professor Reyes’s office, hands folded in my lap, while she took a phone call. My leg bounced under the chair, nerves tight in my chest. The room felt too small. Too quiet.“Hey dear, sorry for keeping you waiting,” she said when she hung up, smiling kindly.I forced a small smile back and nodded.“Well,” she continued, flipping through a file, “first, I want to thank you for doing such a good job with Hale.”My heart skipped, then sank.“I know you still technically have two weeks left,” she added, “but you won’t be needing to tutor him anymore.”I sat up straighter, panic rising fast. “Did I… did I do something wrong?” My voice came out thin. “You just said I did a good job.”“Oh n
Where the ice melts What they’re really after
RONAN POVI saw Ivy across the hall, her face full of shock as I got slammed to the wall.My chest tightened, my stomach dropped.“You murderer! You murderer!” he yelled.My heart pounded in my ears. I shoved him off, my fists tight, fear surging through me. I didn’t want her to see me like this… I couldn’t let her find that part of me I kept hidden.I pushed the guy back hard and ran.My legs carried me as fast as they could. I heard her calling my name, panicked, desperate.“Ronan! Ronan!”I wanted to stop, to turn around, but my body wouldn’t let me. My chest heaved, my heart felt like it was going to explode.By the time I got home, I knew what I had done. A heavy, sick feeling sat in my stomach. My dad was waiting.”“Where have you been?” he snapped before I could even get my jacket off.“I… I got held up—” I started.He didn’t let me finish. His hand came down hard acros
