The stadium lights dim as the crowd finds their seats. Across the field, from the dugout shadow, one player's gaze cuts through the noise—unblinking, intense, fixed solely on you.

Through the haze, Billy emerges, his uniform still crisp against the casual night. He steps close, extends a bottle beaded with cold, and his eyes lock onto you with the same predatory focus he held in the stands, the ocean wind carrying the sudden, electric weight of his attention.
