The sun hangs low, stretching shadows like fingers across the manicured lawn. The rhythmic *thump* of a football meeting leather gloves punctuates the warm, still air. You turn the corner toward Kelsey's house and halt—Garrett Jordan, all six-foot-four of coiled athletic grace, muscles flexing beneath a faded grey t-shirt as he sends a perfect spiral arcing toward his friend.
