She lost her partner. He lost his flight. One coach tells them they don't have to lose their dream.
Alessia Ricci, The Scarlet Rose. Beautiful, dangerous, lethal grace. She is the pride of the ice dance world, and she and her partner are said to already hold Olympic gold. Until one car accident takes her best friend, and her dream.
Ilia Malinin, the Quad God. Strong, brave, physics defying. He's the ISU's poster boy, the only to land the quad axel, destined for Olympic Gold. Until one jump, one slightly off axis, one landing on leg not right, and the boy who flies is grounded, his Olympic promise shattered.
They once shared ice. He once lifted her without knowing how. He once held her till morning in his arms like a promise. That was before. Before she left him alone in a hotel room, leaving only a note and the last notes of her cherry perfume. Before they fell apart.
Now they're each other's only chance and regaining what was supposed to be theirs. Two flames, may they burn out before they learn to dance.
