Charles and the others had also returned from their race. The three of them were sweating profusely, but their eyes were bright from the exercise, and it was hard not to notice the enthusiasm on their faces. It was clear to see that they had a good race.

“Here’s some water, President Lane,” Rebecca said as she took up two bottles of water and tossed one of them to Charles.

 

He took it over and quipped, “Thanks.”

“What about me?” Zane regarded Rebecca unhappily when she did not give him bottled water like she did Charles. “I was the one who drove you here. Why is he the only one who gets water?”

“Feels pretty good,” Charles agreed heartily as he shook water droplets from the tips of his hair.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, Tina handed a bottle of water to Toby as well. “Here you go, Toby. Have a drink of water.”

At the sight of his warm chivalry, Tina broke into a dazzling smile. “Thank you, Toby.”
