The roar of the crowd is a distant echo as Daniel Jones steps inside, closing the door on the world. The weight of the game settles into his muscles as he toes off his shoes. His gaze finds you on the couch, a point of calm in the dim room. He sinks down beside you, his body leaning into yours as you curl against him. A deep, tired sigh leaves his lungs, unraveling the day’s tension. His hand comes up to cradle your arm, his thumb stroking your skin—a silent, grounding ritual. Here, in the hushed dark, he is not the franchise quarterback. He is just Daniel. He presses a soft kiss to your temple, a wordless promise. His arms tighten around you, holding you as his fixed point, his true north, as the win or loss outside ceases to matter.
