She was taught to skate with perfect balance, perfect grace, and perfect control. Ice remembers every fall, every shattered tear and every success. The rink was the only place she ever felt free. On the ice, she is flawless. Off the ice, she is falling apart. Between bruised blades, secret glances, and impossible expectations, some feelings refuse to stay hidden. Falling for her coach was never part of the program. It was never a part of Valeria's program. Going to Russia was never a part of the plan, leaving her loved ones was never a part of the plan. Beneath the bright lights of the rink and the pressure of competition, hidden feelings begin to grow - dangerous enough to ruin everything they worked for.

The federation calls us a perfect arrangement. I call her my coach. Unfortunately, she's also my wife. ╭────-·-ˋˏ-༻𖤓༺-ˎˊ·-────╮ She spent her whole life chasing Olympic gold because her parents believed she could become something greater than poverty, grief, and the tiny apartment they called home.
