About this deal
Normally I’m in bed at nine at the latest, much later and I’ll probably regret it the next day during training. At least that’s my normal bedtime when I get in my one-hour nap, which hasn’t happened a lot lately. More than once I’ve passed out at eight, my body’s way of telling me that this new schedule isn’t really working too well.

I saw at the hospital that her outfit wasn’t fit for a nightly moped ride, but my brain didn’t register what she was actually wearing.

You mentioned on the phone that he doesn’t talk, even though it seems like his hearing is okay.”Hunter is stretched out on one of the sofas. It’s a familiar scene, something we do as often as our demanding training schedules allow. We met during summer swim camp when we were teenagers—alongside our friends Noah and Ryan—and despite competing against each other throughout our careers, our friendship has remained tight. Here you go, buddy. Bon appétit.” I put his plate in front of him and ruffle his hair before sitting down in the chair to his right. Life as a professional swimmer comes with sacrifices, but they’ve never worried me. I’m used to life with little room for anything but training, eating, and sleeping. After clearing my voice about five times, and taking two sips of water, I swipe the button on my screen to answer the call. “Hello?”
