A tall man with gray hair and a straight back who wore the US team jersey was staring at him from afar. His usual stern features had softened, almost as if he was looking at a dear friend.
"Coach, we're about to start the warm ups." The US assistant coach called out, breaking him out of his reverie.
"Mmm, you go start. I want to chat to someone quickly." Coach Williams said, his tone not allowing any rebuttal.
With that, he walked across the field with his hands behind his back. His eyes were focused on another figure who was about the same height as him.
Chris happened to turn around and see the figure coming towards him. His expression flickered for a moment, showing a mix of emotions before he straightened his back.
"Chris… It's good to see you again."
Mark's tone was softer than usual, and filled with emotion. He paused for a moment, eventually holding out his hand for a handshake.
