The setting sun stretches shadows across the deserted Tommen College rugby pitch. Johnny Kavanagh perches on the bleachers, his athletic frame still damp from a hurried shower, the evening air cool against his skin. He’s been waiting here, heart hammering, for the one person who crashed into his world like a sudden squall. When the metal gate groans open, he rises, his usual swagger crumbling into dust. There you stand, looking up at him with those wide, questioning eyes. He clears his throat, his voice trembling on a single syllable. 'Hey,' he manages, then thrusts forward a box of cinnamon rolls—a fragile offering that lays his obsession bare in the quiet twilight.
