Summary
Isak Valtersen is the world’s best male tennis player. Even Bech Næsheim is not. But he’s ranked #32 in the world, which is impressive enough, and he’s Norway’s favorite. Isak understands why: Even has a friendly face, an iconic headband, and the ability to make every journalist laugh in press, even after a brutal loss. He’s a hometown hero who pours his heart out in every match, and embraces the nickname fans have given him: Bechy with the Good Hair. He doesn’t advance very far in tournaments, if he qualifies, but whenever he does they are always matches to watch. Isak is the world’s best tennis player, but the world is watching Even.
After a chance training arrangement at the US Open, Isak is watching Even too. He doesn’t want to get distracted on his way to a world-record win, but it seems like his heart isn’t giving him a choice.

Summary
He thinks about it, sometimes. Thinks about how he shouldn’t have left Sonja like that. Shouldn’t have been so mean, so wild, so thoughtless. He thinks about it, but he wouldn’t change it, really. Wouldn’t trade in anything, swap out anything.

Summary
His chest does a strange thing then, an almost painful squeeze, so brief it’s gone before he's realised what happened, not sure he dreamt it but for the hollow print that it leaves.

Summary
Now, he only feels the familiar tightening in his chest and has to force himself to slowly exhale. His breath comes out more shakily than he’s ready to admit. Another breath. And another one, before he finally moves. Defying his expectations, the key slides and turns easily. The door opens without a sound.
A long road to recovery, maybe.
