"I know it's sort of weird for you, but I'm glad you agreed to go ice skating with me," Leslie said, leaning over to kiss her husband on the lips.
He lowered his head to hers briefly before looking over at the rink. "Do you realize I haven't been on the ice since I was mayor?"
"It's like riding a bike, you have to just get on there, and besides, you're going to be an uncle soon to the world's most attractive baby, and she's going to want you to go out there with her."
"You know I'm already an uncle to the world's most attractive baby?"
"Your brother's kids are the cutest," Leslie said, crossing her fingers behind her back. She kissed him again, then pushed off from the edge and glided gracefully in a loop-d-loop. She'd called in a favor, and they were the only two on there. "Come on, Ben! This is fun."
Ben pushed off too, only his legs wobbled and he went down in a heap of ice and shame.
Leslie skated back to him immediately. She put out a hand to help him up. "Hey you," she said. "I believe in you. Just... lean on me, and we'll do this the same way we do everything. Together."
