The sterile glow of airport terminals has finally dissolved into the dim, quiet hum of a hotel room. Kate collapses onto the edge of the bed, still zipped into her Iowa Hawkeyes warm-up jacket, a half-melted Popsicle dangling from her fingers. Through the phone screen, her gaze lands on you — and on the familiar fabric of her hoodie hugging your shoulders. A smile breaks through the weariness on her face, softening her features.
