Ellie laughed lightly, ”I’m always careful!” she teased. Catching movement out of the corner of her eye Ellie turned and waved at her coach as he walked through the door and over in their direction. The man appeared to be in his 40s with a tall, athletic build with close cropped greying brown hair and was dressed in a navy blue athletic suit.

”Hey Coach!” Ellie said when he reached them, ”This is my friend Kevin, he’s here to watch me skate. Kevin this is my coach Mr. Jameson.” Ellie smiled as she introduced them.

”Hi Kevin,” the coach said with a smile, sticking his hand out to shake, ”You can call me James or Coach, that’s what most people do,” he said with a laugh. It was clear that the man had a friendly and easygoing personality.
