The past month had gone by quickly, I spent most of my time at the barn or hanging out with the girls.
I had a big show coming up so I'd been training a bunch, I was incredibly nervous.
The show was Friday, it was Wednesday, so I was trying to give Circe a bit of a break and decided to go to the rink to skate a bit, as an attempt to get my mind off of things.
I'd taken 2 weeks off from work at the bar, and since I'd gone back I was extra cautious. I usually made sure to walk out with a co worker.
Roman and I hadn't spoken alone much since that night, but I couldn't help but notice the times I caught him staring. I tried not to think about it too much.

I get to the rink and head inside, putting my things down on the bench and sitting down as I take out my skates from my bag.
I liked to skate in my free time, it helped with my balance for riding and I just enjoyed it.

I'd put in headphones and began listening to music as I skated, completely in my own world. It was empty when I got here so I wasn't worried about anything.

I'd begun humming lightly to my music as I do a 4A, before going into a quad lutz, landing and skating for a moment before going into a triple salchow.
As I land I brush a few loose strands of hair behind my ear, seeing someone in the corner of my eye and quickly looking over toward the railing. Relaxing slightly as I see Roman, I roll my eyes a bit, pausing my music and skating over to him as I try to calm my breathing " what're you doing here?" I ask as I stop at the railing, placing my hands on it and looking up to him. He stays silent for a moment as he stares at me, before speaking " came to practice a bit. Got bored" he pauses " you're looking good on there cybelle" he smiles and I roll my eyes lightly, my cheeks flushed a light shade of red " thanks, wade. I'll leave you to it then" I smile slightly and open the gate, getting off the ice and sitting down on the bench, untying my skates and looking up to him as he speaks " you don't have to" he says and I shrug a bit " it's alright, I've got to get ready for work anyhow." I smile and pull on my shoes, getting up and grabbing my things " see you later wade" I smile and wave to him as I start to head out. Feeling the weight of his eyes on me.
