It was the off season, but it was also time for the skaters to prepare themselves for the fall through winter months to start their next season, but Angelique, a skater for the representation of France in the Ladies singles, was scheduled to have a week off to at least be a teen for what little time she had left before the teen would be wiped off her age bracket (though that wasn’t until fall, it was still irksome). She was laying on the couch, head nearly touching the floor as her legs and feet dangled off the top of the couch. A reverse sit as she jokingly called it, flipping through her phone.
Her parents had been nice to give her suggestions of places to go for her week off. She thought about visiting home, but her parents were going to be busy that week and she didn’t want to be a nuisance. Besides, she would see them before she left for the GPF, and at a party no less. There was also a suggestion of going to a beach resort for a week, but that wasn’t something a single girl should do.
Most of the ideas seemed like a flop until she found the very last suggestion; it was a summer cabin in the woods (it may have sounded like a horror movie cliche), it was by a lake, beautiful trees, a forest trail. Curiosity nibbling at the back of her mind she took a look at some of the pictures of the cabin interiors. They were beautifully rustic, log cabin exterior and interior walls, a hardwood floor with a few carpets. Stone fireplace in the living area, there was also a kitchen so they wouldn’t have to cook the old fashioned way unless they wanted burgers or something. Though most of the heat sources like the fireplace and stove were wood fed, the cabin had electricity, including a tv in the sitting room.
Then again, was this really a good place to go on her own? She loved her parents, but damn a lot of their ideas were so couple-like. A blush was on her face as she thought about someone she could invite. Copying the link she went to search through her contacts until she found the one she looked for Otabek, with a little bear emoji by his ID (no way in hell she would share that).
Text: [Hey Otabek, I have a week off coming up. Would you like to go here with me if you have time? (website link attached)]
Plopping her phone on the coffee table she stared at the dust that was gathering under her television’s entertainment center as she waited for an answer.
