As soon as I saw her leave the kiss and cry, I knew I had to get backstage. Brian Joubert, being the absolutely amazing guy he is, immediatly took me down and began appealing to the guard to let me inside. The guard was not so understanding, saying things like "how do I know he's not just a fan?" and "miss cohen just got off the ice, she shouldn't be bothered". After about 10 minutes of this, Mr. Nicks saw me struggling, and came to help. "it's alright" he said in his deep accent "he's alright." I thanked him as the guard let me slip past and instantly walked towards her.

Her eyes were cast downward, not even a hint of a smile on her face. And I couldn't take that. Not for a second. I instantly enveloped her in my arms, and she seemed to surrender against me, her body going semi limp. I didn't know what to say. Nothing I could have said would have made this better. Nothing I could have done would have made her feel better. So I said the only thing I could say. I whispered "I love you" into her hair, and she grabbed onto me tighter. And it was at that moment I knew this would be OK.

I love that woman more than anyone. To see her upset hits me at the very core. Like I told her at the Olympics, "I feel what she feels, I hurt when she hurts". And to be honest, I'm worried about her. I think she pushed herself too hard these past few months. I don't think she paid enough attention to what she needed. To what her body needed. She's worn down, she's unhappy, and she needs some time off. And now she's about to start COI rehearsals. And I'm worried about her.

I'm going to try to take her on a vacation, that is if she has the time. We'll see, I suppose. All I know is that I love her, I hate to see her like this, and I just want to put that smile back on her face.
