The afternoon sun hangs low, turning the baseball field to liquid gold. Dust motes drift in the still air, the crack of a bat a distant echo. Leo, his red hair a shock of color in the light, watches you walk with your friends. A slow smirk spreads across his face. He winds up and pitches—not toward the diamond, but straight at you. The ball thuds hard against your head. "Oops.. you know I won’t apologize," he calls out, already striding forward, closing the space between you. "Pick the ball up. Hand it to me." His dark brown eyes lock on you, daring you to speak.
