Lumière Darling

She took me skating. She adored skating; however, I hadn't skated before in my life. That day, we ended our session in Townwell’s ER because I landed on the face (I was only a couple inches from the wall when I fell).

Shannon was hovering over me as the nurses stitched me up. She said, “You were laughing when you hit the ice.”

We were in the hospital’s pit – hectic and thick aired. I gave her shrug and a grin. “I thought it was funny.”
