   Summary

   Francesca Bridgerton isn't retired. She's just... waiting.

   The problem is that the wait ends with a note in her locker and a proposal that sounds like a hallucination: Michaela Stirling needs a partner. And Coach Lee has decided that person is Francesca.

   They have ten years of history, no friendship, and a rink that's too small for both of them. Now they have to decide whether to share the podium or destroy each other before the first practice.
