“What do we have going on here?” Brandon is already making his way onto the ice, the rest of us staring at him in shocked silence. My body stays frozen in place as he stops at my side, his warm lips meeting mine in greeting. They make me feel colder. I find my voice. “What are you doing here?” “I’m here to play.” “I mean, how did you know I was here?” He shrugs nonchalantly. “I followed you.”
