A wave of warmth flushed through Clara as she recounted the night. She ran towards Mark, the details of the competition still fresh in her mind. He was meant to meet her at the beach, where their team had secured the trophy, and celebrate their hard-won victory. She was practically sprinting, a burst of adrenaline coursing through her veins.

Mark was there, but his face was obscured by shadows as the sun started to set. "Hey," he said, his voice flat. "Did you see who won the gold medal in the diving competition?"

Clara slowed down. "The trophy? Our team took home the trophy," she said, confused. "Remember? When we got that final point at the last second?"

Mark blinked. "Oh, yeah. That's… cool, I guess."
