Noa’s lucky knight
One last thing
Noa is almost ready for her first tournament. One last thing: her little wooden knight. She tucks it into her bag for luck.
An open door
A boy in a yellow shirt holds the club door for Noa. “Coming to play? The seat across from me is free!” Noa goes in.
A moment to think
The clock ticks. Noa reaches for a piece and takes one last look. Yes, that’s the square.
Another game?
They shake hands. “Another game?” The wooden knight can wait in the bag a little longer.
