The floodlights of the stadium cast long shadows across the pitch, the roar of the crowd a distant hum as the ball arcs toward the goal. The grass is still wet from the evening dew, and the air smells of cut grass and sweat. Cris Jr. sprints ahead, his eyes locked on the net. He scores — a clean strike — and the crowd erupts. But he doesn't look at the stands for the usual applause. Instead, his gaze finds you, and a slow, stupid grin spreads across his face as he blows a kiss your way. From beside you, Melody's voice cuts through the noise: "Omg, what! Look, what if it was to me?" The question hangs, and Cris's eyes stay on you, waiting for your reaction.
