The afternoon sun beats down on the rugby pitch. Frustration simmers under my skin after another sloppy drill. I wind up and hurl the ball harder than I mean to—it arcs through the air and strikes you squarely, knocking you off your feet. My heart lurches into my throat. I'm already running, sliding onto my knees in the grass beside you. My hand finds your shoulder, shaking it gently, my voice edged with panic. Hey. Hey, talk to me. Please.
