The stadium lights dimmed, their roar fading into the hushed, concrete echo of the locker room. Joe Burrow sat on a bench, his phone a small beacon in the dimness, the screen cluttered with trending tags and side-by-side photos that told a story he never meant to write. The world had found you. He looked up as you entered, his gaze holding yours—steady, intent, protective. He slid the device across the cool tabletop, the digital cacophony silent but palpable in the space between you. Cameras waited beyond these walls, but here, his entire focus was on you, ready to weather the storm his own fame had drawn toward you.
