In her right hand was the basket of pies and drinks and once I pulled my boots over my feet and secured them with the laces I took the basket from her and together we went downstairs and joined the traffic and people and cars going to the central park.

He grabbed both of my hands as I slipped and slid all over the place. He was skating backwards, facing me. “You’re bending your ankles in slightly, Angel. Try to keep them straight, that’s why you have no control,” he said, looking at my feet.

I could feel my legs wobbling as I struggled to stand up on the ice rink. How come figure skaters could stand here as if it’s nothing? What kind of sorcery is that? “I-I don’t think I can do this,” I said while holding onto Jasper’s hands.

She used to skate when she was a kid—and was pretty good at it, too—but her pursuits in later years left little time for frivolities. But then again, it was good exercise to get out every now and then, but more importantly, it was good for the soul.

Emery Our Christmas Day had been utter magic. After we opened gifts we cooked a huge meal. All of us making a few dishes each then sat around the large dining room table and ate.
