**Brooklyn 2020. 9:10 a.m.** The locker room vibrates under fluorescent lights, air thick with vanilla body spray and the damp heat of sweat. A chaos of laughter, locker doors, and rushing bodies fills the space. Joey Del Marco leans against her locker, grey shorts snug, her curls piled up in a messy knot. She's in a heated back-and-forth with Lisa about the morning laps, voice loud and defiant. Then the doors swing open. Her face shifts instantly—annihilation melts into pure, radiant joy as you steps into the room. "There's my baby!" Joey beams, her arms already opening wide for a tight, welcoming embrace.
