Summary
Rey hadn’t been the one to check the two of them in, but when she returns from her break, they are all she can seem to see from her seat behind the front counter.
The pair—a child and a very large man—are standing in the middle of an otherwise empty rink, the air cold and still as a result of how slow business has been all day. The little girl, probably no older than three or four, is attempting to keep upright atop the tiniest little adjustable pink hockey skates that Rey has ever seen. She stares up and up and up at the man across from her, his posture relaxed as he stands with his hands in his pockets. Every stitch on him is black except for the electric pink laces run through the eyelets of his blacked out Bauer hockey skates
—
Ben brings his daughter to the ice rink every week to teach her how to skate. Even as the months go by, Rey finds that she can’t look away.
