In 1996, Riley is known only by reputation: the training maniac, the star physical defender, the Olympic-qualifying figure skater who is far too quiet about her success.
Shauna Shipman doesn't like her. Riley's silence reads as arrogance. Her discipline feels performative. Shauna decides she's boring long before she decides she's worth noticing-and yet, she keeps noticing anyway. Her habits. Her injuries. The way she disappears before anyone can praise her.
What begins as irritation sharpens into fixation as Shauna pays closer attention than she ever meant to. She tells herself it's curiosity. Judgment. Nothing personal.
Closeted, terrified of Jackie Taylor's orbit, and unaware of what she's hiding from herself, Riley doesn't realize she's being watched-or that being misunderstood can be just as dangerous as being desired.
