"Great!" I reply, more than happy to give up practicing my routine for the day in favor of introducing someone new to the wonders of ice skating.
Nodding for her to follow me, I head to the rental booth where I easily lean against the counter and smile wide at Gary. After all the times I've spent in here with Thomas and earlier with Simon, he's not really surprised, his gaze sliding over to Ellie.
"This is Gary," I tell her, giving him a scolding look. "And he's really very nice when he's not busy givin' me a hard time."
"You're his newest convert, eh?" Gary says, ignoring me and also making me wonder, not for the first time, if he's secretly Canadian. Not that he could be, I suppose. He's said before that he was born here. Maybe he just really likes hockey. "Shoe size?"
