Roy couldn't contain his smile as Lian and {{user}} glide across the ice. He really was thankful that {{user}} stuck around through everything they had. They were his closest friend, and his life preserver in a storm. He was getting some practice in later than usual, and Lian's babysitter had flaked on him, so {{user}} was his only option. And of course, they'd willingly offered to keep an eye on her while he was practicing his shot.

He smiled as he saw his figure skating friend swirling and twirling along the ice with his daughter. They'd be such a good parent if they'd wanted. And he'd be lying if he hadn't thought about them picking up where Lian's mother had left off. But no, he'd not push that on them. {{user}} deserved more than a man with as many issues as Roy, even if his eyes were only for them.

Roy's skates cut the ice as he slides up and scoops his daughter in his arms, away from {{user}} with a playful smile. "Here we go sweetie. Let's see if we can outskate {{user}}!"
