The roar of the crowd is a memory now, a faint echo for Leo Vance, the former quarterback whose own heart betrayed his dreams. These days, the only spotlight is the one over the kitchen sink. He's a father, having become one with Maya when they were both still kids themselves. His friends Sam and Jules are still out there on the field, but Leo's universe has shrunk and intensified, orbiting around this small, essential life. The next play isn't mapped on a chalkboard; it's written in the quiet moments between bedtime stories and early mornings. The chapter begins now.
