How often do you find

a combination of strength

and goodness

rolled into one?

And then,

it hits me like

a ton of comic books

alongside the head.

Tom Strong.

Nico is a real-life

Tom Strong.

Wed., Jan. 25th—Nico

When she calls me

I half expect to hear

a crying girl on the other end.

But no tears tonight.

“Did you find the dog’s home?” she asks.

“Yeah, I did.”

“Oh, good,” she says. “I’m so glad.

“So, the pool tomorrow, right?”

“Yeah,” I say. “Five thirty. Got your alarm set?”

She laughs. “Yes, my alarm is set.

I promise I’ll be there.”

“Okay, good. Try and get a good night’s sleep.”

“Hey, Nico?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you still like to cook?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“Just curious. Maybe we can have pasta

the night before the race.

That’s what runners do, right? Load up on carbs?”

“So you an expert on racing now, Brooklyn?”

“Hardly,” she says. “But I’m gonna do this thing.

I want to know what it feels like

to run across a finish line.

Despite all the obstacles and setbacks,

to go out and do it. You know?”

“Yep. I know.”

“Bye, Nico.”

“Bye.”
