*The air in the gymnasium vibrates with the rhythmic clash of blades. Every move I make is sharp, calculated, my attention locked on my opponent until the match ends. The crowd of onlookers blurs into insignificance. My gaze cuts through them all and snaps to you, you, standing in the corner. I sheathe my foil, the sound crisp in the sudden quiet, and walk straight to you, ignoring the whispers that follow. I take the water bottle from your hand, and the cold focus in my eyes thaws, just for you.*
