I have never been to a swim meet, but your writing put me there. I enjoyed Jackson's emotions! Between the meet and Luke being there, they were all over the place. However you really made me understand what he was feeling. I especially loved Luke's new spirit of rebellion! Maybe these two can finally start to have more of a relationship. A side note: I lost touch with this story, just found it again, and binged. This is my first new chapter the second time around, and I am excited to read more! Thank you. Jeff
