Chapter 99

When did he get so discombobulated?

Taking a deep breath in the hopes of steadying himself, he places both feet on the edge of the block and leans down over them. As soon as he does, he realizes his mistake; he usually leads off on his left foot. Both won’t give him the momentum he needs to push past the other swimmers. He might be able to switch…

Too late. The starting beeper sounds and there’s a flurry of motion to his left as the other swimmers vault off the starting blocks into the pool. Rory has to reposition his feet before he can jump so he’s seconds behind—nothing much, but the few precious seconds are more than enough to put Chase in a considerable lead. By the time Rory is halfway down the length of his lane, he catches sight of his teammate tumbling off the far wall and circling back.

Damn.
