I picked up my duffel and pushed aside the curtain, and Liza spun around from primping in the mirror.“Oh my God. Josh is going to pass out when he sees you in that dress,” she said.I smoothed the silky red fabric and stepped up to the long mirror to make sure I was tucked in everywhere. The neckline of the dress dipped lower than that on any of my competition dresses. Skinny straps circled my shoulders and crisscrossed over my back, where the material also plunged deeper than usual. This was the sexiest costume I’d ever worn. And damn if I didn’t feel incredible in it.“Let’s hope none of the stones fall off while I’m skating. It was just finished yesterday.” I fluffed my hair over my shoulders.“Maybe Stephanie will trip on one of them and fall flat on her face.” Liza snickered.I laughed as I slipped into my Team USA jacket. “As much as I would enjoy that, I want this to go well for Em. She’s put up with so much crap to get this show done.”We squeezed past the little girls spraying each other’s hair and went into the locker room to put on our skates.
