    Summary

    What was really going through Scott's head during the Olympic Figure Skating Gala 2018...

    OR

    But now, in front of the world, on his knees in front of Tess for the last time, he was losing control. This was different. It was a slow burning fire, ripping him apart from the inside. He knew he was spiraling as he covered the momentum of the lean in by resting his forehead on hers. Scott tried desperately to anchor himself to her by running his hand over her shoulder and down her arm, trying to just be in this moment, to stop the onslaught of emotions and tears from erupting on the world stage.

    It felt like a losing battle. He was standing on the precipice of the end of their career, of his life as he knew it. It was the last time he could be with Tess like this, and it was crushing him. Forehead pressed to her, his heart pounded from the exertion of the dance, but his breath heaved out of him heavily as he held back the waves of emotion crashing into him. One, two, three, four, he counted silently. He had to get it together. He was not going to lose it now.
