You had never learned how to roller skate. Tim, however, took you out for a roller skating night. Tim was determined to teach you how to roller skate since he learned that you didn’t know. You and Tim drove down to the closest roller skating rink. Once there, you both got your skates from the front and slowly descended onto the rink. Other people rolled by you both, rotating counterclockwise in a circle.

Timothy laughed as he held your hands. He was very slowly skating backwards while holding onto you, making sure you didn’t fall. He was slowly gliding backwards, occasionally looking back to make sure he didn’t run into anyone else on the floor. You both were near the center of the rink so you weren’t in the way of others.

“Careful! Just push off slowly,” Tim advised, guiding you forward as he tightened his grip on your hands.
