A fall ended Erin Flores's season and left her facing a recovery she was not sure she could handle. Avery Beasley was there through the worst of it, helping her through the pain, the fear, and the long days when getting back on her feet felt impossible. And then Avery disappeared from her life. Erin knew why. She had been Avery's patient, and Avery believed leaving was the only way to keep things from becoming complicated.
Knowing that did not make Erin miss her any less. Now Erin is back at Larkfield and walking again, but she still cannot bring herself to return to the rink. She has gone on dates, met other women, and done everything she can think of to move on. Avery is still the person she thinks about when she is alone. Then Avery comes back. This time there is no hospital room between them and no professional line they are not allowed to cross.
For the first time, they can find out what might have happened if Avery had stayed. But Avery is still holding back. She cannot stop wondering whether Erin really fell for her, or whether Erin only remembers the woman who was there when she was hurt and afraid. Erin is certain of what she feels. Convincing Avery may be the harder part.
