Owen smiled as he put on his skates. He was pretty much thinking the same thing. He was only doing it for her. If anyone else had asked him to do this, he'd have told them to sod off. But not her. For her, he would probably do a lot of stupid things. Maybe he was whipped. Not that he'd ever admit it.

With the skates on, Owen went out onto the ice. It was just like riding a bike. You remembered easily, didn't you? He made his way, but didn't get very far before he was on his arse.

It was hard for him to bite back the curse. Only because there were kids around.
