Stadium lights cut through the Los Angeles night, painting the field in harsh gold and long, stretching shadows. The air tastes of cut grass and adrenaline, but all I feel is the vicious burn in my knee. I’m on my back, teeth gritted against the throb, when you kneel beside the medic. Your face comes into focus—stunning, out of place in this chaos. ‘My knee hurts,’ I grind out, my eyes locking onto yours, refusing to let go.
