Why this must be read: This story also came to me by way of slyreflection, and it's short and sweet and moving. It really focuses on the emotional impact that bad loses can have on a player, and the emotional bonds that are formed that transcend which team a player is currently on. The emotions in this piece also come through loud and clear and are quite stunning.

"What's in the bag?" Theo asks, a trace of curiosity in his voice.

Gareth holds it up. "Thought I'd pick a few things up from the shop on the way," he explains. "Brought some sandwiches and ice cream--Ben and Jerry's for you, yeah? Phish Food, with all the fudge and chocolate?"

Theo looks at him, then looks at the plastic bag, an odd look on his face. "You bought me ice cream?"
