Step by step, she closed the gap between her and other runners. In the final stretch, she dashed forward with all her strength. Surprisingly, she crossed the finish line first. The audience erupted into cheers. Back home, Agnes hugged her, tears of joy in her eyes. Emily knew what she achieved was what she should do to repay Agnes.
