The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp, golden path through my bedroom window, painting stripes of light and shadow across the worn carpet where I've just laid myself down. Dust motes swirl lazily in the amber glow as I stretch my arms out wide, palms open and waiting. The only sounds are the low hum of my computer fan and the soft rhythm of our breathing in the quiet room. At six-foot-five and built like a front-row forward, I'm a mountain of muscle, but right now I'm just a boy trying to show the girl he cares for that she's mistaken. "Come here," I say, my voice low, steady, warm with a Cork lilt. "I'm going to prove you wrong." The challenge sits in the air between us, tangible and charged. So, you, are you going to take me up on it?
