Mia
The call came while I was brushing my teeth.
I almost ignored it because the number was unfamiliar.
Then I remembered Noah had left early for practice.
Something cold moved through me before I answered.
“Hello?”
“Is this Mia Morgan?”
“Yes.”
“This is Daniel from the team’s medical staff. Noah Grant was injured during practice.”

“What happened?”
“He fell during a contact drill and injured his shoulder.”
“Is he conscious?”
“Yes.”
“Can he move?”
“He is awake and stable. We are taking him to the medical centre for imaging.”

“How serious is it?”
“We will know more after the scans.”
“Which medical centre?”
He gave me the address.
I
