“They've never agreed on anything when it comes to my swimming career. It was Dad who took an early mail delivery shift so he could coach football at the public high school, a gig that helps pay for my gear and travel expenses. It's Dad who cheers the loudest at every meet. Mom has always worried that the rigor of my practice schedule doesn't leave enough time for studying. I've spent the last three years constructing the Jenga tower of my life with perfect precision that satisfies them both—straight As and a full athletic scholarship. And now, in one careless move, I've knocked the whole thing down.”

“When I was little, I'd crawl into bed with my sister anytime it stormed. She'd grumble but let me snuggle in beside her. The whisper of her warm breath against my hair would eventually lull me back to sleep. In the morning, the storm would be over, the sky clear.
Tonight, a single truth keeps my mind wide awake: this storm isn't going to pass.”

“Coach doesn't know what it's like to wake up on the hot concrete, staring up into the faces of strangers, not knowing where you are or what happened, only that you need help, and that for the first time, you can't help yourself. You're completely and utterly vulnerable. It's the worst feeling in the world.”
