“Something like that. I'll make lunch while I finish up these cookies. No more talking. As a matter of fact—” She consulted her slender gold watch. “—I have somewhere to be in an hour. Lunch and fresh-baked cookies will be waiting for you after your swim. So what's it going to be?”

“I learned a long time ago to never argue with the wisdom of my mom.” Caron returned her mother's embrace. “A few laps sound perfect. Who knows? Maybe I'll have an appetite when I'm done.”

“Swim as long as you want. I'll have a sandwich waiting for you in the fridge and cookies in the usual container.”

Her mother was right. She'd drag her heated emotions through the pool, eventually tempering them in the repetitive motions of kicking and arm strokes, of breathe and hold, breathe and hold. Most days after high school basketball practice she'd come home and cool down with a swim. And when the team lost? She'd endure her father's replay of the game—what she'd done right and everything she'd done wrong—and then muffle the sound of his criticism by swimming lap after lap in the pool. Caron only stopped when her mother stood at the edge, towel in hand, and demanded she get out, dry off, shower, and come get something to eat.

Some teenage habits were worth reviving.
