Summary
"When he caught up, Langa glanced sideways at him, breathless, eyes squinted from the wind in his face. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn’t. Instead, he just kept skating, the street lights flickering over his face like a broken film reel. Reki didn’t say anything either. The sound of wheels rolling on the pavement seemed to fill the space between them with motion rather than words.
Skating was still the one thing that made sense when everything else felt like it was slipping through his fingers."
Unspoken tension between Reki and Langa causes them to feel uncertain about themselves. Langa discovers a message from his Dad however, the message is far from the whole truth. Reki’s new baby sister makes him feel unnoticed and neglected, as well as his battles with jealousy and self–worth.
