Summary
Like most people her age, Katie barely remembers her parents. It was one of those new normals that arose after the 2018 pandemic, like wearing a mask at all times, knowing how to bake bread from scratch, and volunteering to embark on a mission to re-write history.
It's never bothered her that she never knew her parents, and she would never put her personal desires ahead of the survival of humanity, but when she winds up living in the same town as them, working at the coffee shop that they frequent, and seeing them alive and well, she can't help but selfishly want to get to know them, the real Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir -- not the version they painted on the ice for the world to admire all those years ago.
She knows it's wrong, that she's breaking entire books of rules she swore to adhere to. But it's not like she's completely abandoning her mission. All she's going to do is clean some skates, earn some very much needed money, and maybe, maybe talk to her parents once or twice. What could possibly go wrong?
