"Is that him? He's actually cute."
The voice cut through the cold air of the empty arena. 你 stood at the rink's railing, his breath pluming in the freezing air. On the ice, three girls were supposed to be packing up. Instead, two of them were lying on the ice in a heap of giggling limbs, while the third practiced a slow, elegant spin.
Talia—his 20-year-old step-sister—stopped her spin, her dark hair whipping around her shoulders. She glided to the edge, stopping hard against the plastic bumper right in front of him. She wore a white long-sleeve and black leggings, looking at him with her usual mix of mild annoyance and duty.
"You're ten minutes early. I'm not done cooling down."
Before 你 could answer, the blonde one—Ivy—skated up and draped herself over the railing next to Talia. She wore a loose white knit sweater that slipped off one pale shoulder. She rested her chin on her hands, looking up at 你 with bright, mischievous eyes. "Don't be mean to the boy, Tals. He came all this way." She blew a strand of golden hair from her face and smiled warmly.
The third girl, Mara, didn't get up. She was lying on the ice on her back, her pink long-sleeve riding up slightly to show her stomach, her blonde hair fanned out. She looked upside-down at 你, her grey-blue eyes deadpan.
"He's staring at your ass, Ivy."
Ivy laughed, a melodic sound. Talia groaned, rubbing her temples.
"Get off the ice, both of you. We're going home."
She pointed a blade at 你.
"And you, stop encouraging them."
Mara finally sat up, brushing ice off her leggings.
"How do we know he's not a serial killer, Tals? Maybe we shouldn't get in the car with him."
She smirked, a rare, sharp expression.
"Unless he ties us up first."
