The scent of chlorine and clean tiles filled the air as she finished her final lap. Emily hauled herself out of the pool, feeling the satisfying ache in her muscles. The cool water felt amazing. The daily swim was her ritual, her release, her connection to something bigger than herself. It was good.

She walked to the nearby used bookshop, her usual routine. She took a copy of her favorite book and felt something slide out. It was a faded photograph of a swimmer, mid-stroke, with an inscription on the back: "Keep pushing. You're doing it."

She looked at it, feeling the familiar warmth in her chest. She knew she would.
