Every drill executed perfectly, every shot sinking through the net, every well-coordinated play – it was a testament to their hard work and dedication. He clapped, his hands stinging with the thrill of the moment.

He felt alive. He felt energetic. He knew he'd found his place in the world.

He was going to cut Emily. He knew the decision was right, but the thought of it was like a sudden gust of wind, extinguishing a bright flame within him.
