    Summary

    Later, they’ll say it was shock. That’s why she didn’t react. They’ll call it a freak accident—bad luck on a difficult skill. The doctors will exchange careful looks when she asks how soon she can get back on the mat.
    She’ll nod along. She’ll play her part.
    But she’ll know the truth.
    It wasn’t shock. It wasn’t an accident. She had prepared for the pain. She had made the choice.
    And when the doctors tell her they can’t be sure if—or when—she’ll return to gymnastics, the breath she lets out isn’t from disappointment.
    It’s from relief.
