it’s you.
the ice is special to her, it's been her happy place and her safe haven and she's never really let people into that bubble .. except for @jersey44. it's always been easy to tell he's just as home on the ice as she is, easy and relaxed as he twirls her on the ice. she's laughing freely, hair flying around her face when he steadies her with hands around her waist. she's about to suggest a hot chocolate or maybe she can try to play a game with him when a chilled but, gentle hand strokes along the curve of her sweater clad hip and holds her close,
" it's you. "
nobody's ever really talked to her like this, like alec who talks to her like she matters, like she's a person to him, not just a treasure to spin around the ice and show off to all his friends .. she hopes he knows he matters to her and her heart just as much , " i think .. i know it's you too, alec.
