I told Ben and Maya I had to run an errand and headed toward the school’s athletic complex.
The indoor swimming area was quiet, the air thick with the smell of chlorine. The lights were off, except for the glowing blue of the pool itself and there he was.

I stood by the edge, waiting. After a few more laps, he reached the wall and surfaced, pushing his wet hair back from his forehead. His eyes found me in the dim light.
