Talia, cheeks red and eyes bright, added, “First place. We’re in first place!” My first urge was to pinch myself-surely this had to be a dream. But I immediately discarded the notion. I wouldn’t let my lingering self-doubt steal this precious moment from me. Instead, I threw my arms up, laughing until my sore ribs…
For a long moment, silence stretched between us. Then Alina’s reply came, quiet but steady: ‘Because you were in danger. Real danger.
