•Athena's POV•

"Please just let me go on a walk," I say, trying to stand up only to be lightly pushed back down by Joe. "No," he says, then walks away to make me a sandwich.

Suddenly, I heard someone knock on the door. "Hold on, I'm coming," Joe yells from the kitchen. Confused about who is at my front door, I try to listen as Joe opens the door.

"She's in the living room; do not let her walk around," Joe tells the person. They agree and then come into the living room.

"Joe, I'm going to kill you," I yell, as the mystery person is Kit. He chuckles. He sits beside me on the couch, making sure not to move my foot.

"What happened?" he asks, looking concerned. I've had an ankle injury since juniors, but it sometimes causes me pain when I practice a lot." I shrug as I explain.

"So what's going to happen now?" he asks.

It's nice knowing he cares enough to ask me a question about it, considering all the past guys I've talked to hated discussing my career. Since it made them feel 'bad' that I was more successful than them.

"Well, I have a doctor's appointment scheduled tomorrow to see if I re-injured my ankle, or if I sprained it, or if I just overworked it," I told him, my anxiety coming to light if I did fully re-injured it.

"What happens if you re-injure it?" he asks, comfortingly putting his hand on my leg. Well, if that happens, I can kiss the Olympics and my career goodbye," I say, looking down and picking at my fingernails.

"Are you nervous?" he asks, grabbing my hands to stop the picking. All I can do is nod as tears pool in my eyes, thinking about not attending the Olympics. "Oh, love," he says as he adjusts himself to hold me.

"I'm scared, and I don't know what I will do. If I can't skate and my parents hear about it, they will have a full field day with it." my face is still against his chest.

"I will be here, and Joe will be here. If that happens, I won't leave, and I can promise you that," he says, lifting my head from his chest and putting his forehead against mine.

"Do you think you could come with me tomorrow? Joe has plans. He said he would cancel them, but I feel bad. You don't have to —never mind, ignore everything I just said." I say quietly and quickly.

"Athena, love, of course, I will go with you. I don't even have to think twice," he tells me. I sigh. "Thank you; I really appreciate it, Kit," I tell him, looking at his face. "I know you are love." He tells me, then gives me a small kiss, making me smile.
