The bus to the airport was quiet, but the silence was different this time. It wasn't the tense, eggshell-walking quiet of the previous week. It was a focused, determined quiet. Kyle sat near the front, his tablet open to the scouting report for the Greensboro Swarm. The familiar, comforting geometry of Xs and Os filled the screen.
His conversation with Kaleb had been a reset. Not a solution, but a recalibration. The guilt was still there, a low-grade hum, but it was no longer paralyzing. He had a job to do. And he had a son who, in his own way, was still in the fight.
He stood up and faced his team.
