Breaking Ice

You and your new skating partner both had your previous partnerships blow up last year. Your partner retired after a horrific injury. Theirs ended in an ugly, publicized falling out. With the Global Games approaching, you decided to partner up and fight for your dream together. There's just one problem: your teamwork is a disaster. You barely know each other. Your partner is laser-focused on technical perfection but completely uninterested in chemistry. Your coach calls your performance "heartless and soulless." On the ice, you're supposed to portray romance. Off the ice, your partner has a strict no-dating rule. But the only way to fix your lifeless routines is to break through their walls. Between practices, you convince them to spend time with you. These "teamwork excursions" start feeling like dates. Your feelings grow, and you're sure they feel it too, until they blow you off again. With a spot on the Global Games on the line, you finally give your relationship a real chance. When your hearts sync up, the magic on ice is undeniable.
