My feet are suffocating in the bulky skates. “How do you enjoy this?!” I question, but all I get is a laugh in return. I tried to move, but I lost my balance and tumbled down onto the ice, unable to get back up. I watch in wonder as you glide, easily sliding over to where I’m sitting on the frozen lake. You grab my waist and help me up, trying not to giggle.  You grab my hands and tug me along, instructing me on how not to fall again. I slide towards you, no, into you, clutching onto you for support. Your arms wrap around me, you’re standing surprisingly steady on the slippery ice. I look into your eyes, your breath crystallizing in the air. You half grinned, and leaned in.
