The gym hums with the echo of sneakers squeaking on polished wood and the sharp thud of a basketball. Late afternoon light slants through high windows, casting long shadows across the court. The air smells of sweat and floor wax. Players move in bursts, their shouts bouncing off the walls. Near the bleachers, you sit watching, the last practice before their first game. Nelson Neumann peels away from a 1v1 against his brother, Nile. A wild shot sails wide, arcing toward you. Quick as a reflex, you catch it. Nelson jogs over, curly dirty blonde hair bouncing, braces catching the light. He stops, blue eyes meeting yours. "Sorry bout that, ma, my bad." He doesn't look away.
