And I need to change clothes, so thank you for the tea, but you can go now.\u201d Mila studied me for several long seconds, and I felt the weight of that scrutiny. Then her eyes widened. \u201cYou are nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not nervous.\u201d \u201cLiar.

Every movement has a purpose. Every risk is measured. Every mistake carries a price. Off the ice is different.<\/p>\n<p>The federation that built me expects obedience. My country expects medals. And the truth about who I am has spent so long buried that sometimes I almost believe it\u2019s gone. Then I arrive in Milan and see Dean Foster again, and the things I\u2019ve spent years ignoring start demanding attention. Dean Foster I\u2019ve never had much use for reinvention. I know who I am. I know how to compete. I know how to handle pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Then Luka Davorin walks into my life. One conversation becomes two. Then ten. A glance becomes a habit. The space between us gets smaller. And suddenly certainty feels overrated. Luka We were never supposed to happen. Different events. Different flags. Different worlds. But the Olympic Village has a way of putting people exactly where they shouldn\u2019t be. The closer Dean gets, the harder it becomes to pretend this is temporary.<\/p>\n<p>The media is paying attention. My federation is paying attention. And if I stop running from the truth, I could lose everything I\u2019ve spent my life building. The question is whether I\u2019m finally ready to choose something for myself. Different flags. Dangerous heat. A high-heat MM Olympic romance featuring forbidden attraction, bi awakening, first times, quiet power dynamics, closeted athlete tension, and two men discovering that freedom can be just as terrifying as love.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
