Us, Over Thin Ice Ⓒ

For Ricky Bennett, life had always been perfect-stable, predictable, the kind of life everyone dreams of. Good grades, a future Physics major at a top Canadian college, and a relationship he thought was strong... until his three-year girlfriend broke up with him. Suddenly, his world crumbled, leaving him lost and unsure of who he even was.

Meanwhile, his best friend Rosabelle Laurent was fighting her own battles. A junior figure skater determined to reach the senior level, she struggled to find a college that could support her dreams in a sport where success came at a high cost.

What began as Ricky leaning on her for comfort slowly became something neither of them expected. Lingering touches, stolen glances, and small misunderstandings pushed the boundaries of their friendship, and everything reached a boiling point they couldn't ignore.

"I can explain gravity, Rosabelle... but I can't explain why I feel like this when I'm with you."

Friends. Confidants. Something more. But can they navigate the thin ice between them without falling apart completely?
