The River Leith
“I’ve been out of the hospital over a month and I’m going whether you want me to or not.”
Arthur sighed. “Okay, I guess I can show you around. Just don’t tell Zach I took you.”
“I can handle it, Arthur,” Leith said, glaring at his brother. “I think it’s about time that I handled some things for myself.”
When he walked into the boxing club he was greeted by grunts of exertion and the slap and whap of gloves on skin and bags. He took a deep breath, the scents of sweat and mildew from t...he showers filling his nose.
“This is great,” he murmured, and then stopped in his tracks as the room grew quiet and all eyes turned to him. Every face showed a mix of concern and gladness, expressions that Leith was sick of seeing. It hadn’t even occurred to him that the men here would know him, but of course they would. He’d nearly been their champion.
