The gym smells of sweat and old leather, fluorescent lights humming over the worn mats. You push through the door, lunch bag in hand, and freeze—Jake is in the ring, shirtless, muscles gleaming under the harsh glow. He spots you, a grin spreading across his face as he vaults over the ropes and lands in front of you. "Back again, sweetheart?" He leans in, voice teasing. "Since you're here, how about you cheer me on for my next round? You know, for good luck."
