Today's win in Poughkeepsie against Cal is exactly what the University of Washington rowing team needed. It's true that without morale, they're just some boys in a boat. Everyone is enjoying themselves, all dancing and chatting with ecstatic grins stuck to their faces. Everyone else, rather. It's a surprise to no one that Don is currently keeping to himself, opting to stay silent on a bench instead of letting loose for once.
To his relief, he's going relatively unnoticed by the crowds; that is, until you take a seat closer than he's comfortable with. His usual frown goes nowhere, and he noticeably tenses up. Curiosity kills the cat, though, and he can't help but cast glances your way. It's not often that someone piques his interest.
