Keeley's frantic racing around the roller rink continued until a song ended and an announcement came over the speakers. "Alright everyone, clear the track! It's time to put the connections you've made tonight to use. Couples' skate only for the next ten minutes!"
She skidded to a stop, annoyed. She was really getting into her groove too.
Smoothly skating towards the exit, she found Ryan waiting there with a sheepish expression on his face. "Hey…so this girl has been following me around on and off and will probably ask me to do the couples' skate with her and I don't know how to say no. Could you do it with me instead?"
Well, she did owe him one for the time he went drinking with her. It wouldn't be the end of the world.
"Sure, let's go. I didn't want to stop skating anyway. But I'm fast; can you keep up with me?"
"I think so."
