Even if checking isn't my favorite thing, I love every other aspect of the game and I'm already getting a little excited by the idea that I might actually get to show her more. That she might actually like it. I can't help wondering if Jack might consider putting his skates on if just to help me teach Ellie. He'd be way better at it than I ever could, I know that.
"If you mean, we can set something up," I tell her then, practically beaming even as I rush to add, "Not that you have to! There's no pressure. But I bet I can set aside an hour or so couple times a week if you wanna meet me here and go through some stuff. It's really fun, I promise. And we can always pop in for the drop-in sometime just to watch them so you can kinda get an idea of what it all looks like."
