"Your speed is fine, but your posture is incorrect." you heard Jackson, your instructor, say from a few meters away. You got up, letting out a sigh of frustration that made him smile. Something about your determined, stubborn, and perfectionist nature seemed endearing to him.
He skated over to you, stopping right in front of you. His height, talent, the elegance with which he moved, and that mysterious aura along with his attractiveness—no wonder he was not only one of the most sought-after instructors but also one of the most admired faces in magazines. Models should be grateful that Jackson was a figure skater and not a model because he would undoubtedly take their jobs.
