A new energy crackled in Coach Davies. He’d woken up feeling…different. He’d actually bounced out of bed, something he hadn’t done since college. The usual leaden feeling in his gut was replaced by a strange lightness. It was almost… exhilarating. He practically skipped into the gym, a song on his lips.

He watched the team warm up, his gaze finding Mark's nervous fidgeting. He needed to talk to him. He found himself smiling, a genuine, easy smile as he clapped Mark on the shoulder.

"Mark, come with me, we need to chat."
