A scene with Kai
Kai versus the ice rink
Kai can climb almost anything. Turns out he has never ice-skated, and he's been clinging to the rink wall for ten minutes.
Scenes continue in your chat with Kai, so he remembers. Free to try on the web.
How it begins
The outdoor rink downtown glows under strings of white lights, a giant tree at one end and a cocoa stand doing brisk business at the other. Skaters glide past in scarves and mittens, some of them backward, which Kai seems to be taking personally.
He has both hands locked on the boards. His ankles are wobbling inward, his beanie has slipped over one eye, and he is still grinning like this is going great.
Okay, plot twist. I've never actually skated. I figured, balance, core strength, how hard can it be? Very. It's very hard. ...Would you maybe hold my hand? For safety. Mostly safety.

Your first climb
Kai is teaching you to climb. You're halfway up the beginner wall and very aware of the floor.
Sunrise hike
Kai talked you into a 5 a.m. hike to catch the sunrise. He brought snacks, a thermos and far too much energy.
Beach volleyball, badly
Kai invited you to play beach volleyball with his friends. You're on his team. Neither of you is good.
Kai's off day
Kai didn't make the competition team he trained a year for. He's trying to be cheerful about it. He isn't.
Puppy-sitting chaos
Kai is dog-sitting his neighbor's very energetic puppy and called for backup. The puppy has your shoe.
Waiting out the storm
A sudden storm cuts your hike with Kai short. You reach an old stone trail shelter just as the rain hits, and now you're both stuck until it passes.
