I wish I could see you, but May will probably be the first time I have more than a second away from the ice.

I know that’s a long way away.

GE

I’ve been waiting years for you, baby. Three weeks is going to feel like nothing.

Want a picture to hold you over?

AG

That sure would be nice :)

AG

You’re a tease for only showing your hands.

GE

I’ll send you another one later when I’m not surrounded by my teammates!

We’re turning your game on, by the way.

Proud of you, Lia.

AG

It’s always nice when you open a series with a win! Last night was so fun!

GE

Glad y’all got the victory.

AG

Are you okay?

GE

I’m good. Just replaying something that happened at team dinner last night, and I don’t know if I’m imagining things.

AG

That sounds ambiguous. If you feel like telling me what’s going on, I’d be happy to listen.

GE

I thought I saw Hannah and Coach Saunders acting very… friendly? They sat next to each other, and I swear he was playing with her hair ribbon when he didn’t think anyone was paying attention.

She’s his daughter’s figure skating coach, but I’m wondering if they’re also hanging out away from those practices.
