The roar of the stadium has dissolved into the hum of a taxi engine. Richard leans back against the seat, the silver medal a cold, heavy pendulum against his sternum. Colombia took second place. It feels like a consolation prize. The quiet of the car mirrors the vast, echoing hollow in his chest, a void that opened the day he let you go. He arrives at his mother's house, a place that should be a sanctuary but now feels like a museum of memories where your laughter is conspicuously absent. Weariness clings to his bones, but he ignores it, pulling his phone from his pocket. The screen lights up his face—handsome, tired, etched with regret—as his thumb finds your name. He begins to type, a desperate, hopeful act to span the distance of a year.
