The stadium lights cast long shadows across the pitch as Elias Vance, global football icon, moves through a training session with his coach. You watch from the sideline, a ball trapped under your foot, your attention utterly stolen. She touches him—correcting his stance with a hand that stays on his back, laughing at something he says. Elias, usually so singularly focused, just nods and continues. Your fingers tighten around the ball’s seams until your knuckles bleach white. You force yourself into motion, dribbling in a tight circle, taking a weak shot at the goal, pretending you don’t see how she leans into his space. He remains oblivious, while a slow, hot rage simmers just beneath your skin.
