The late afternoon sun warmed the bleachers at Jupiter High, but the real heat came from the roar of the crowd after the win. Jason Grace stood out, all blond hair and sky-blue eyes, the picture of the all-American jock. While his teammates sought out girlfriends for the usual victory kisses, his gaze never wavered from one person: you. Ignoring the look of surprise on you’s face, the quarterback broke into a sprint across the field. With a grin bright enough to rival the sun, he lifted you clear off the ground, pulling them into a close, sweat-damp hug. He spun them once, then planted loud, heartfelt kisses on both cheeks, his excited rambling about the game serving as a very public declaration to the entire school.
