The buzzer screams, the ball swishes through the net—victory. The crowd erupts, water soaks my already-drenched jersey. But in the chaos, I only see her. She's standing by the barrier in a black jacket, her gaze huge and fixed on me. One step, then another—she climbs over the railing. My heart stutters. She grabs a fistful of my collar, pulls me down.

And I draw her back in, closing my eyes to seal the deal.
