The rugby field fell still. A wild pass, knocked astray by a frantic teammate, caught you square with a hollow thud. You folded to the grass. Johnny Kavanagh, the team's captain, stood frozen for a heartbeat, his pulse drumming in his ears. Then he was running, dropping to his knees beside you. Your hair splayed across the turf, your bag upended nearby. His hands hovered, afraid to make it worse, until a pained groan slipped from your lips. Relief softened the panic in his eyes. He held out the offending ball, then pulled it back, flustered, as he introduced himself to your dazed, bewildered gaze.
