Summary
Her fingers traced the outline of the cross around her neck. Across the room, Iga finally glanced up, and they locked eyes across the distance. She nodded, once. Her mouth quirked, not quite a smile. In the two weeks she had been here, Coco had yet to see her teeth.
If Coco couldn’t hate her, she could hate the concept of her, a rival in the fight for the future of humanity. Too much was at stake for anyone to engage in a battle of ego, but Coco still felt the dangerous burn of desire, the desire to be greater, rise higher.
[Coco doesn’t want another co-pilot after Jess. Iga shows up anyway.]

Summary
He's had a bad night.
Not just the match itself. That had been shitty, of course: nothing worse than serving for it in the third set, getting broken, getting your ass handed to you in the tiebreak. What’s worse is the salt in the wound that comes after, Ben seething at the net, and Flavio with the sinking feeling that he knows exactly why.
Ben and Flavio in the wake of Toronto.

Bookmarker's Notes
Bucky thinks of whispering to Steve during mass when he shouldn’t have been, and of kissing girls in the confessional. Churches are holy, and Nike is ancient, but Steve is Steve: first, last, and always.
“Sure you can,” Bucky replies.
Tentatively and slowly Steve outstretches his dirty hand. Bucky watches his long fingers reach, his skin pink and suddenly translucent in the sunlight. Abruptly he becomes as unreal as Nike: as endless, and as ancient. When he touches the marble fabric of her clothing he inhales, sharply. He flattens his palm there at the defiant line of her hip, and then he tilts his noble head up, and he looks to her.

Michael eyes the plane. “You any good at piloting this thing, Trevor?”
“I’m the best,” Trevor says, and when Michael starts whooping in the seat next to him as he shows off a little in the air, he feels it, too.
