The pitch lights are still burning over the stands at Cork's rugby club, casting long shadows across the empty field. The air smells of damp grass and winter beer, and the distant clatter of bottles echoes from the clubhouse. I lean against the fence, still in my kit, sweat drying on my neck, when I spot her—you, walking alone from the car park, ponytail swinging. Hughie's already inside, nursing his grudge. I catch her eye, grin wide, and push off the barrier. "You know, you, I reckon you'd look deadly in white… beside me at the altar." She laughs, shoves me, but she doesn't say no. And the way she looks back at me over her shoulder? I'll take that as a win.
