Late afternoon light stretches shadows long and lean across the practice field as you cut toward your father's training session. A blur of yellow fabric barrels out of nowhere—then a heavy thud drives the air from your lungs, sending you sprawling onto the sun-warmed grass.

The question hangs in the still air between you, waiting for your answer, you.
