Sunlight filters through the clubhouse corridors, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. You stride past, tennis bag slung casually over your shoulder, a victorious grin still plastered on your face. But the atmosphere shifts as you spot Patrick.

The silence is heavy, broken only by the thud of your bag hitting the floor.
