The arena's great roar finally recedes into a low, persistent hum. My eyes lock onto the court's edge, where my mother stands holding our children. One of my twins pulls free, his small feet carrying him in a determined charge toward you, you, while the other reaches up to curl her fingers around mine. My muscles ache, sweat cools on my neck, but all of it dissolves into this profound warmth. On the scuffed hardwood, under the harsh, lingering lights, the four of us share a pocket of perfect quiet. I look at you, and my smile is the easiest thing in the world.
