“Zoloto! Come here, silly girl,” Misha called to the French bulldog puppy, who barked at the waves as they rolled in.

They had the beach almost to themselves as the sun sank toward the horizon and the lights of the Santa Monica Pier twinkled on. With their jeans rolled above their ankles, Dev and Misha strolled along and threw sticks for the puppy. Dev loved the grit of the sand between his toes.

A salty breeze blew off the water, and Dev zipped his hoodie. “It’s getting cold. And don’t even say it.”

Misha scooped a rock from the sand and skipped it into the water. “What? I said nothing.”

“Uh-huh. But you were thinking it.”

Misha still wore just a white T-shirt. “You Americans are so thin-blooded,” he teased. “You don’t know what cold really is.”

“I’m from Boston. It gets cold there, trust me. Plus I lived in Colorado Springs the past six years. Cold!” He bumped Misha’s shoulder good-naturedly.

“Zoloto! Come on.” Misha tossed a stick across the sand, and she raced after it, tripping over her paws in her frenzy.

“I still haven’t decided if naming your dog Gold is charming or arrogant. And a follow-up—I can’t believe they’re letting you bring her on tour.”

He grabbed the stick from the puppy’s jaws and tossed it again. “They want Kisa and I to skate in their shows? Zoloto comes as well.” He grinned. “I was going to ask for Zoloto to have private dressing room, just to see if they’d agree.”

Dev laughed. “Look, you might be an Olympic champion, but you’re not JLo. Your ass is too small for starters.”

Misha gave him a sly glance. “You have complaint about my ass?”

Dev gave him a pat. “Not even a little bit.” At the thought of all the sex they’d had since he arrived in California three weeks ago, heat surged through him, followed by the sinking feeling in his stomach he felt when he remembered it was all ending in a few days.

“What?” Stopping, Misha caressed Dev’s cheek with the back of his knuckles. “Thinking of my ass should not make you look so sad.”

Dev smiled briefly. “No, it wasn’t that.” Might as well just spit it out already. “I probably shouldn’t bring this up and ruin everything, but…” He sighed. “It’s been amazing here together, but in a few days we’re both leaving. Stars on Ice is starting in Lake Placid, and you and Kisa are going to Europe. Then we’ll both be on tour in Asia, which will be awesome, but when the summer ends…then what?”

“There are rinks here in LA. Top coaches you could work with. Be an assistant to start. I spoke to a few people. They are interested.”

Dev’s heart skipped a beat. “You talked to them about me?”

“I only mentioned you might be back here in the fall. They were very interested. You would be an excellent coach, Dev.”

His pulse sped up. “You want me to come back here with you?”

Misha didn’t hesitate. “I do. If you like.” He caught Dev’s hand.
