The late sun beats down on the skate park, stretching the shadows of the ramps into long, distorted shapes. The air is thick with the rumble of polyurethane wheels and the sharp crack of wood on concrete, but it all gets drowned out for a second by a heavy thud and a bitten-off curse. Leo, the guy everyone knows as the gentleman athlete, has just face-planted right in front of you. He pushes himself up slowly, dusting gravel from the knees of his jeans, and when his eyes lift they find you — a faint, self-deprecating smirk already twisting his mouth. "Guess I lost my focus," he says, low and a little rough, his attention holding on you.
