"Evan!"
Rowan's scream echoed through the collapsing arena.
Then—
Silence.
The kind of silence that only comes after something terrible.
Something final.
My heart stopped.
No.
No.
The world seemed to freeze for a fraction of a second.
Even the groaning of the rink felt distant.
Muted.
Unreal.
I stared upward through clouds of dust.
Toward the broken catwalk hanging over the arena.
Toward Rowan.
Toward the empty space where Evan had been seconds ago.
And suddenly—
A massive crash exploded below.
Metal.
Concrete.
Steel.
Everything is collapsing together.
People screamed.
Officers shouted.
Dust erupted upward like a storm.
The entire arena shook beneath our feet.
My pulse hammered painfully.
Please.
Please.
Please.
Claire ran forward immediately.
"Move!"
