Okay... Mel went a little overboard with her comment. Brian was in competitive skating... No way would he purposely knock down a score. Expecially someone as delish as Justin. (I know it's just the way her character is written, but it ticks me off!) LOL...

I'm wondering if Justin overdid it, or if his opened water in his bag was tampered with. I'm not remembering clearly, but as soon as he reached down to get it... I felt like a scary movie moment, and wanted yell - "NO! Don't drink that water!"

Unfortunately, Martin Levinsky actually placed. I would have loved to see him trip up and fall on his face and have to pass up on this year's competition.

And by God, if your gonna fall of your platform, whose better arms to fall into than the man of your dreams? Right?

BTW - I noticed with these last two chapters, there's a space between your ellipses and quotation marks, and you don't normally do that... so I'm wondering if there's something with the posting... I've noticed AO3 screws up certain areas too. There will occasionally be extra spaces on there, that are not on the other sites.

All caught up, and wanting more,

Author's Response:

I don't know where my head was when I wrote this story (it's been such a long time ago). I have Mel much more bitchy than I usually do. I more often have Lindsay like that - LOL.

Yes, with all that's happened, it's not a big jump to worry about the water bottle in Justin's bag. I will go with fatigue though. Such a strenuous performance would be draining after dehydration. Justin really didn't have the chance to take in enough fluids to this point. 

Yeah, I had to let Martin advance. We need to see him at the Olympic games too. LOL. 

I think if not for the embarrassment, Justin would have been elated at waking up in THAT man's arms - his hero!!

I am a bit confused about the spaces as well. I went back and checked at MW where I copied the chapters from, and it's there too. I don't know if it occurred from where I originally copied the chapters from or what is going on. I have just posted another chapter, and had to fix the same issue. Hopefully, I caught most of them...if not all.

Thanks for commenting, Cathy.

Hugs,

Janet
