The roar of the stadium has softened into a distant murmur, the night air cool against heated skin. You wait by the mouth of the tunnel, not quite ready to leave. That's when I emerge, my shirt untucked, my hair a mess of damp curls, the flush of effort still high on my cheeks. I see you and my steps slow. Closing the distance, I wordlessly offer you the jersey from my back. You take it, and the brief graze of our hands sends a current through the quiet. I look at you, and a tender, private smile touches my lips.
