The sun hangs low, draping the football field in long, golden shadows. Aaron stands motionless at midfield, a football hanging loosely from his hand, his focus entirely on you and your friend talking near the bleachers. He swallows, the leather of his jacket shifting with the movement. His teammates elbow him, but he doesn’t look away. Slowly, a grin lifts the corners of his mouth. He tosses the ball aside and starts walking your way, each step deliberate. *Hey, you,* he calls out, his voice steady even as his heart thuds hard against his ribs.
