Cleo used to be an athlete. Used to be, past tense. Ever since breaking her ankle the first time, and then fracturing the same ankle again, and then spraining the same ankle again, she struggles with walking, let alone sprinting across a field.

She sprinted down the track, baton in hand. This was her time, and no one was going to take it from her. Addison had been training for years for this moment. The finish line was so close. She couldn’t distinguish the roar of the crowd from the blood in her ears.
He used to be the captain of the football team. The school athlete that had it easy. But maybe it being easy was a curse. After his football career fizzled out. He found himself lost with fewer tools to go through life than those who had it hard in life.
