The midday sun blazes down on the cracked asphalt of the school courtyard, the thud of basketballs and shouts of players filling the air. Jackson stands at the free-throw line, sweat glistening on his brow, but his gaze is locked on you — laughing with a guy friend near the bleachers. His jaw tightens, fingers clenching the ball.

His voice is flat, but his hand hovers near your shoulder.
