“drop my phone onto my clothes. “Come on.” I yank Lily back outside. “We have some brothers to beat.” We splash and shout and mess about in the pool for ages, and finally we relay race. I come this close to beating Hiro, and the others give me such a cheer, I feel like I’m at a swimming competition again. Michael makes me stand high on his shoulders, and he shouts that I’ve won a silver, and the others applaud, and this feeling … this feeling floods me that I thought was gone forever: Everything”
