"How do they feel?" Will said, looking up at me. He'd just finished lacing my skates for me and was now waiting to hear whether they were too loose or too tight or just right. My dirty mind was going off in all directions, but I managed to answer coherently enough.

"They seem fine. If they're too loose after I start, I'll just have to tighten them. I do know how to lace skates, you know."

"Yeah, but it's easier if someone else does it."

"Want me to do you?" I said, raising one eyebrow. I could see him imagining that scenario with me kneeling in front of him, basically at crotch level. His eyes kind of glazed over for a second. Then he shook his head.

"No, no. You go out, I'll join you in a minute. I've been skating my whole life. You're the one that hasn't done it in a long time." I could see him thinking about what he just said.

"Shit. I can't even talk anymore without... Oh, just go, okay, Cecilia. And stop looking at me like that."

"Like what?" I said.

"Like I'm dinner and you haven't eaten in a week."

"More like years," I said under my breath.

"You're not helping things with comments like that and sweaters like that and... " He gestured helplessly with his hands. "Look, can we just skate?"

Ah, so we were getting things out in the open. That was good. Sweaters like that? What was with my sweater? I looked down and could see my breasts clearly outlined with my cold nipples standing out like little soldiers at attention. Oops. I guess I should have worn the orange one, but I'd thought the blue went better with the rest of my outfit.

"Sure," I said. I'd brought the warmer orange sweater in case it was really cold. I pulled off the tight blue one and put on the other one instead. Will looked completely dazed by the time I was finished switching. God, I hadn't exposed myself, had I? There wasn't anyone here so early, but still...

"Will? You okay?" I said, concerned.

"Yes, I'm fine. Skate. Let's skate."

I lifted my eyebrows but said nothing. Touchy, were we, this morning? Maybe I wasn't the only one who hadn't been able to sleep for thinking about what we were not doing.

I stepped out on to the ice and forgot everything except how magical it was to glide along. It was almost like flying, with the cold air in my face. We were at the outdoor rink in the park, surrounded by big beautiful trees that provided wonderful shade for summer picnics, though right now they were bare. It was early, and no one else was had arrived yet, so we had the whole big rink to ourselves. Will did finally make it on to the ice, and we went around and around - sometimes talking sometimes not. It was amazing - like being a kid again.

"Celia?" He said into the silence, later when we sat drinking the hot chocolate from a thermos we'd brought.
