smiled back
“Wes, It made me sleep soundly. Thank you.”
“You welcome, Alice. And next time, if you are having problems, tell me,”
She looked satisfied. I did not even open the box of tea, but I knew she would be happy if I made her believe she was the one who solved my problem.
I just finished practising my program when I noticed Gideon leaning on the low ice rink board. It between us, but I hugged and kissed him.
“What are you doing here?” I asked hint,
“I just wanted to see if you are okay,”
I rolled my eyes, but it felt extremely good he cared about me so much,
t him, and I skated to him. The bound was
“I just had a breakdown yesterday. I’m fine.” I whispered, as Beth was close megli. Uhually, I took no hecals, therefore I thinught I could have a few. minutes. I checked the clock on the wall, then I looked at Beth. Apparently, she knew what I wanteil, and she nuded. She did not seem too happy, though.
I let Gideon go, then I skated to the gate. I grabbed my water after I left the ice, and I held Cadeon’s hand. We walked to the coffee shop, and be undered coffee for himself.
“I just came to see that you are fine. I’ll kill that woman if you come home again like yesterday.” He told me seriously, but it made me chuckle.
“No need. I told you. And I’m not promising it won’t happen again, but we can’t blame Beth for that. She is just doing her job.”
He looked at me in a weirdly, then he had a sip of his coffee.
“I don’t care what her job is, Alice.”
I just looked away as I understood what he meant. I completely forgot that he had that side as well, fast because I got the nice and caring that did not mean he was a good person to others.
He drank his coffee, then he walked back to the ice rink with me. He kissed me beker he left.
I just got back on the ice when I met Beth’s angry gaze. Iated to her.
“Alice, I really don’t like this.”
“He only came once, and I’m here on time.”
“Your mind must be here. You must think about your program, your elements, your skating. You have to focus if you want the gold medal. Understand?“. She scolded me.
“I do, Beth. He is back to work from today, so don’t worry, he won’t come often.”
She nodded, and apparently she did not calm down at all. I felt like she wanted to punish me from then on. I felt exhausted again after I finished my training, but this tiene I was tired physically only
When I arrived, the only thing that I wanted was a luath, to allow my uncles to relax, but when I stepped into the house, an unfamiliar snice made me jump.
Welcome home, Alice. I’m just about to finish lunch. What time would you like to eat?” —
Fcompletely forgot I asked Gideon yesterday I call her. I held my forehead
“Biora, I’m mary. I just completely forgot that you would be here today. I’m not hungry yet. Do not rush. I want to have a both firs

She was
about to burn around, but I had a question.
“Where is Gideon!”
She turned back, and her honest smille came back, which I did not like at all..
“He is outside at the pool, chilling”
I nodded, and I frowned when she left. Her smile when I mentioned Gideon made my

car on my mind.
“Stop it. Alice.” I told myself quietly, and I headed to the pool. He laid on a deck chair comfortably. He only wore a swimming short.
“Aren’t you afraid you are going to get a sunburn?”
He smiled without opening his eyes.
“I have perfect skin. It never gets a sunburn, it
gets brown instead.
I sat down next to him.
“Seriously, how long do you lay in here?”
He turned his head to look at me.
“Not long
He sat up and looked at me. He stared at me for a little while before he asked me.
“What made my beloved Alice angry?”
I indeed could not control my emotions, I thought. I looked at the ground.
“It’s just….…….. never mind.”
I felt embarrassed. Once, I argued with him out of jealousy and I remembered well what happened after that. I stood up.
“Te going to have a bath. I feel like my legs can’t keep me any longer.”
He nodded, but he looked at me like he tried to read my face.
