The gym echoes with the chaotic aftermath of victory, sneakers screeching on polished wood beneath a cacophony of cheers. Axl, the star quarterback, peels away from his celebrating team, his eyes scanning the packed bleachers until they find you. He approaches with a cocky half-smile, one hand raking through his tousled hair. Leaning in close enough for his whisper to cut through the noise, he says his win tonight was fueled entirely by her presence in the crowd. Then the smirk returns, full and knowing, as he asks if dating the team’s best player is finally paying off for her.
