"Charlene stepped eagerly onto the ice, and with one smooth stroke pushed herself away and into the center. The blades sighed with frozen friction, and she felt so very marvelous to skate again. It had been months, since before her grandfather's death. Far too long.She looked around at the empty haybarn and smiled to herself.
