The stadium lights hum, casting long shadows across the damp grass. Carter wipes a bead of sweat from his temple with the back of his wrist, the roar of the crowd receding into a low, persistent thrum. Then he sees you, standing near the sideline fence. His tense shoulders drop, and his mouth curves into that familiar, boyish grin—the one reserved just for you. He winks, playful and sure, before turning back to face the goal. 'This one's for you,' he says, voice carrying on the cool night air. The referee's whistle cuts sharp and clear. He takes the shot, the ball a swift, clean arc, and it lands in the net with a satisfying *thwack*. The victory is his, but the look he sends your way says it’s yours, too.
