Maks rubbed his
chin with his finger, deep in thought. "Do you remember your short
program?"
"Yes."
"Skate it for
me."
Famke glanced at
Chris and his smile grew, revealing that dimple she liked. Encouraged, she went
onto the ice, set herself in the middle of the rink, then began the routine.
She performed her step sequence with precision and her jumps flawlessly. When
she finished, Chris clapped, beaming with enthusiasm. She skated to the side.
Maks grunted. She hoped he approved.
"In pairs
skating you must allow your partner to throw you and lift you. I will teach
you. Can you do this?"
She glanced at
Chris. "Yes, of course."
Chris' expression
sobered a bit.
Maks pointed to
Chris. "I want a simple pair spin and then throw her into a salchow
jump."
"All
right." He offered his palm to Famke and she grasped his hand. His skin
was cold, but a warm pulse of attraction rushed down her arm.
Chris leaned
close. "I'll put my hands on your waist and throw you. Don't be afraid if
you can't get the landing right away. We have to learn each other's
rhythms."
"I'll be
fine," she replied.
First they worked
on the spin, and after a few minutes they found the balance in their rotational
speed. Famke glanced at Maks and Stephen. Her brother grinned from ear-to-ear,
but Maks frowned and rubbed his chin, scowling.
Famke skated away
from Chris, then re-approached, building speed, remaining completely focused,
having never been thrown before. Chris reached out, grabbed her waist, lifted
her, and threw her. Famke liked the height, performed the salchow, but her
landing was too hard. She stumbled, but remained on her feet. Chris skated to
her and grasped her arm. She righted herself. Their eyes locked. Famke discovered
Chris' expression was filled with deep concern.
"Are you
okay?" he asked.
"I'm
fine."
Maks crossed his
arms. "Not bad, but you need practice – a lot of practice. I want to see
an overhead lift."
