She led him to the main counter and the man looked up. "What can I do for you?" "Uh, we'd like to rent skates, please," Poppy said cheerfully. "I'm a size 7 1/2."
Poppy raised an eyebrow and sat on a bench to take off her shoes as the man disappeared behind the shelves. “You have large feet,” she commented.
The man returned with the skates and Poppy gave him their shoes before turning to him excitedly. "This is going to be so fun."
She was quite at ease on the skates, taking his hand as they headed to the rink. “Stick to the sides at first, okay?”
They got to the rink and Poppy stepped out smoothly, taking a moment to get her balance before turning to look at him with an outstretched hand.
