A Leap Toward the Unexpected
Just as I thought the evening was winding down, Alan made another unexpected move—he registered for a community sports league game on the spot. “You’re really doing this?” I asked, not hiding the surprise in my voice. His grin was wide and sure. “Been waiting for this kind of shot,” he replied, eyes twinkling with determination. It was classic Alan now—spontaneous, bold, and brimming with possibility.
Even though a part of me still worried—about his limits, about pushing too far—I couldn’t deny how infectious his enthusiasm had become. I’d watched him defy logic all day, so who was I to question his readiness now? Instead of doubt, I found myself nodding, giving him a quiet, supportive smile. Whatever came next, Alan was going to face it head-on, and somehow, that made me believe we were both braver than we thought.
