    About this ebook

    She had no idea how things would now play out, but she knew what needed to be done. In a mere moment of weakness, she began to panic just as she stepped onto the ice. What if she was found out? What if she didn't win that gold medal? Then this false masquerade would have all been for nothing. It was at that moment when she skated onto the ice that her worries were put on hold. The cheering, the lights, the announcer, and the music. Oh, it was just all too captivating and new to her. The atrocious images from last night, the cruel whispers, the implacable torment was alas put on hold for this one moment.
