Victoria P.O.V
She practically skips down to the lake, barely remembering to put proper pants on until Antoni places a hand on her hips and steers her back into her room.
Electricity swims freely in her veins, and her heart pumps quickly in tune with her rapid breaths. The sun is shining brightly in the sky, not a single dark cloud anywhere near them despite the fresh snow glinting around.

“Are you sure you’re up for this, Bell?” Antoni sits beside her and hands over the box. She rushes to take off her winter boots and stick her thick socked feet into the skates.
“Yes, my ankle is fine.” She slips her right ankle into the borrowed old skate and twists her ankle around. Fits perfectly. Giving Antoni a pointed look she smiles in ecstasy, “See?”
