The swimmers exchanged confused glances.
Kate slowly climbed out of the pool.
“You know her?”
James walked closer.

She stopped entering major events.
She stopped giving interviews.
She disappeared almost completely from the sport.
But before leaving, Lily had set a record in the very event Kate and the others had been training for.
