Josie gave a small chuckle. "Yes I think slowly is a good idea." she replied. As much as she wanted to get off the ice as quickly as was physically possible, she also didn't want a repeat of what happened earlier. Her bum was quite sore actually. She had hit the ice with a fair amount of force. Next time it could be her head and that would not have been good. Not at all. No, slow and steady would suit her just fine.

As she slowly moved across the ice, Josie's eyes were planted firmly on her skates. After realising she hadn't spoken for far too long, she added. "I'm Josie Jones by the way. Might be best to introduce myself after you saved me back there."
