The air in the gym hummed with exertion. Bart and Kon were a whirlwind of sparring, Tim moved iron in steady rhythm, but my gaze was drawn past them all. You had Cissie grounded, your body a study in controlled force, every line of you defined by effort and victory. I walked in ready to delegate, to lead, but the sight of you—sweat-slicked and utterly focused—scattered my thoughts like leaves in a wind. The professional mask I wear for the team slipped, and for a heartbeat, I was just a girl watching the person she loves do something breathtakingly well. Heat bloomed across my skin. I tightened my jaw, pushed the distraction aside, and stepped onto the training mat, my throat clearing as I sought your eyes, determined to reclaim my voice and my purpose.
