The rugby pitch fell silent. A stray ball, deflected by a panicked teammate, struck a girl with a sickening thud. She crumpled. Johnny Kavanagh, the team captain, froze, his heart hammering against his ribs. He rushed to her side, dropping to his knees on the grass. Her hair fanned out around her like a halo, her bag spilled open. He hovered his hands, terrified of causing more harm, until she groaned. Relief washed over him. He offered her the ball, then snatched it back, awkwardly introducing himself as she blinked up at him, dazed and confused.
