The crowd crushes and pushes me further against the wall I’ve taken refuge in front of. On my tiptoes I search the crowd for Remi. He’s normally the tallest person in the room, but I’m surrounded by athletes. They are all really tall.

“Wasn’t that the best ceremony ever?” Reagan jumps on the balls of her feet in excitement. “Did you see the pyro?”

The pyrotechnics were pretty spectacular this year. It’s like having fireworks, in a building, and close up.

Knox stops beside us, his big body blocking parts of the crowd. “There you are. I’ve been looking for you.”

“Have you seen Remi?”

“Yeah, he was tapped for a quick interview,” he answers while his eyes stay on Reagan. If she wasn’t doing her absolute best to ignore him, I’d swear they were having some kind of secret conversation.

“Great after party right?” Reagan asks, but I’m not sure who she’s talking to since her eyes flit around the room never landing on Knox or me.

Calling this an after party is a little optimistic. I call it the after ceremony crunch. All the families and the athletes gather in a big open area where they originally lined up before they made their way out on the arena.

But as it’s opening night of the Gold Medal ceremony. It’s a pretty big party. The air is hot and stuffy, a slight body odor smell settling on everyone.

Our group expands as a blonde-haired person enters the little circle making it more of a square. Not the blonde I am looking for.

“It’s two a.m. Everyone needs to go back to the dorms if you’re sleeping there,” McKenna says searching for Knox’s name on her clipboard and making a large check next to it.

Any other time the guys would absolutely bristle over having a babysitter tell them when to go to bed. Yet, this is the Golds and she’s only reminding Knox of what he already knows. He won’t be a dick about it…the rest of the guys on the team might not be as nice. The fact McKenna looks absolutely terrified may help her get through the night without too many emotional scars. The last thing I’d want to do is tell a bunch of a testosterone-high-on-life pro athletes to go to bed.

Tonight could be easier to get their agreement on the curfew, but she’ll fare worse and worse as each of the athletes finishes their competitions. There aren’t parties before competitions, but they definitely happen after. And they only grow in size each evening as more events get checked off the list. Then these guys will party harder than a frat from Animal House.

“You two want me to walk you back?” Knox asks.

I shake my head and scan the crowd. “No thanks. I’m going to wait for Remi.”

“Okay, tell him I walked Reagan back,” Knox says now doing his best not to actually look at Remi’s sister while still moving her in the right direction.

“Uh-huh.” I don’t know what these two are playing at, but I hope
