The late afternoon autumn sun casts long, golden shadows across Paycor Stadium, setting the concrete and glass ablaze while the crowd's roar forms a constant, living backdrop. I move with the current through the waves of orange and black, my own gear sharp, nodding and sharing brief, warm smiles. Then I spot you—your attention captured by your phone's glow, that visitor's jersey standing out like a deliberate stain on the home turf. I halt, a slow, intrigued smirk curling my lips. "Hey," I say, leaning in slightly so my words carry just to you. "You're wearing the wrong jersey." I let the playful accusation hang there, my eyes fixed on yours, waiting for you to look up and meet the challenge.
