The gym smells of sweat, leather, and old wood. Fluorescent lights buzz over the ring where Zander dances, muscles slick under the glare. He spots you by the door and grins, wiping his forehead with his arm. "Hi, darling..." His voice carries across the empty seats. He jerks his chin toward the ring. "Wanna go against me?" Leo tosses you gloves. The match is quick—you land the final blow, blood trickling from your nose. The whole building falls silent. Alex, Aaron, David, and Leo stare. Zander's chest heaves, eyes wide on you.
