As the whisper of doom hung in the air, the author’s husband Mark took up ice skating lessons after their son refused to continue. Encouraged by his enthusiasm, the author supported him as he progressed from a beginner’s class to private lessons and started spending his lunch hours on the rink. However, the author’s guard was up, due to her parents’ divorce when she was a child, which had taught her that love is unpredictable.
Mark’s growing passion for skating made the author apprehensive, especially when he started mentioning a certain Ricky who worked at the rink and sold high-end dog food. Before long, Mark had invested in a new pair of skates that arrived in a box at their home. The author knew that this was a slippery slope, and her imagination ran wild with visions of Mark leaving her for Ricky, who was a skilled ice-skater, as well as a dog food connoisseur and makeup artist.
As time went on, Mark’s passion for skating plateaued, and he signed up for another set of lessons, this time with Ricky teaching him how to perfect his technique. Slowly, Mark started encouraging his wife to come watch him skate, and despite her reluctance, she finally agreed. However, disaster struck, and Mark took a tumble, slipping and sliding across the ice straight to his wife, dazed and confused.
In the end, Mark’s dalliance with ice skating faded away, and he now spends his free time cycling across all terrains. The author notes that they have now been married longer than her parents and hopes that whispers of Mark leaving her for someone in his cycling group won’t come true.
Overall, this story highlights the author’s fears and insecurities arising from her past experiences and how she overcame them by trusting her husband and supporting his passions. It shows that love can be unpredictable, but with trust and support, it can also be enduring.
