Hs question fund the crying boltem on in me, my tears started to fall incontrollably. I just walked to him, and I hugged him, leaning my head on his thes. He hugged me tight.

"What happened?" he asked me impatiently, and I knew I had to answer him before he would think someone hurt me.

"I'm just so thed." I sobbed,

He sighed, then he hugged me tighter. It was nie to feel his arms around me. Gideon kept me in his embrace for a little while, then he bent down and lifted me up, the cantied me up listo nur beilicons, and he put me down on the bed. He took some tissue to me, and he sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry Gikon, it seemed like today was a bit too much for me."

"No, I'm sorry, I should have held myself fuck yesterday."Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

He caressed me, but I shook my head quickly, then I held his hand.

"I always love to be with you, I think I just feel the pressure,"

"Or you can't take the pressure, because you are training a lot, and not sleeping enough."

He lowered his head, then looked back at me,

"made lunch. Have some test and let me know if you are hungry."

"Are you leaving me here?" I asked, made it obvious I did not want to stay alone.

"I have to finish in the kitchen, then I'll come up." He smiled.

I watched him stand up and leave. That felt so bad. He recently did everything to make me happy. I remembered at the beginning I was the first who used his kitchens, as he only went there to get some beer from the fridge, and now he was cooking for me.

Thugged my knees, then I sat there for a little while, then I thought, just because I had a breakdown, I did not want to ruin the whole afternoon. I stood up. Actually, I fell better after I rested my legs.

I walked down, and I found him in the kitchen. He had just finished. He looked at me and frowned

"Alice, what are you doing here? You should rest."

"In fine. We can eat if you are hungry."

He shook his head in disbelief.

"Sit dit in the dining room. I'll be there shortly."

I smiled and nikleid before I left.

appened with the cooked meal soon, and we sat down to eat.

"Alice, my lather called me today. From tomorrow, I really have to get back to work for a few hours. Seth deals with everything alone and I can't expect him to do that."

"I understand, Codeun."

"I'll find a few restaurants to make some orders. If you are okay with that, we can sit down later to check some menus."

I only traded, but I had something else in my mind. Alter we finished eating, I helped him to tidy up, even if he wanted to send me up to lie down

After we finished the kitchen, we both aged some fresh air would be nice, so we just had a rest out

did not want to continue like this. Doing everything on my own was too hard on me. I knew Gideon would want to help me, from now on, he will be up at night, and he will need some rest as well. "Gideon"

"Yes."

but it was not his role. And

He turned his head to look at me while we laid next to each other.

"Call Nora. She could start tomorrow."

He looked at me, surprised,

"Yesterday you thought differently."

"Yes, but I'm afraid it just will be too much for us. I like homemade food, and you wouldn't need to worry about anything." I sighed.

"I train a lot, and I am afraid there will be a few days like today in the future. I agree we could use some help, at least until I compete. The ISU events are the next, then if everything is going well, then I can compete at the Olympic games and then probably I will finish the competitions. Then I could work as a coach, or I can just perform at shows or galas. Then I'll have time to deal with the housework, and we could just ask someone occasionally." "Why do you want to stop after the Olympics?" He looked at me, surprised again, but I smiled sadly.

"First, the new generation is on its way with new positions, jumps, spins, with new records. Just think about Ava. As I get older, my body will change and it doesn't matter how much I work, I won't be able to beat the younger ones. I rather stop when I'm on the top unbeaten, then be ashamed. And the other reason is a human body's limits. Even if I have a small weight, landing a quad puts a huge pressure on the ancle, which is a huge risk of being injured. I don't want to finish skating either way, so I rather stop on the top, then letting my body be damaged or being ashamed by the younger ones."

He caressed my face.

"Well, if that is what you truly want and you think this is what you have to do, I agree with you. I don't care what you are doing unless it really m you happy."

I smiled at him.

"Will you call her then?" I asked.

"Yes. But if you don't like her, just let me know. Okay?"

"Yes." I nodded and kissed him. We held each other's hands while we turned back on our backs. We continued resting, and after dinner, we sat in the bath. He bought some sea salt that was supposed to calm my muscles. He also gave me a massage which felt so nice. I felt like I was energetic again after we left the bathroom. Gideon tried to push me into bed early, and that night I could fall asleep quickly,

I indeed felt better the next morning. I was not looking forward to do my training again, but I kept telling myself what my goal was.

I left the house quietly, then I went to th

the sports centre. Beth smiled at me when she saw me,
