He walked over to Mark, putting on a brave face. "Congrats, Mark," he said, offering a genuine smile. "You deserve it." Mark looked stunned for a moment. "Thanks, Ben," he replied, returning the gesture. "I'm sorry."

Ben recalled the countless hours spent practicing together, the shared dreams of making the team. "I’ll see you at the games," Ben said, forcing a chuckle. "I'll be your biggest fan." He took a moment to savor the feeling of supporting his friend’s triumph.
