At Northbay University, where the rink is always echoing with blades and cheers, Collete Arnaud prefers the silence. An autistic figure skater with a deep love for movement but a high sensitivity to noise, she skates alone in the quiet hours, unseen and unheard.
Clifford "Cliff" Hensley, a laid-back hockey player with a loud life and a loyal heart, isn't supposed to notice her. But when he stumbles upon her late-night practice, something in her quiet presence pulls him in. He doesn't understand everything she feels, but he listens-and that's more than anyone's ever done.
As two very different lives begin to intertwine, Cliff and Collete form an unexpected connection built not on words or grand gestures, but on patience, respect, and the kind of closeness that doesn't need noise to be real.
Stillness on Ice is a gentle, character-driven college story about finding comfort in silence, navigating love in unconventional ways, and learning that even the quietest voices deserve to be heard.
