The Friday sun beats down, relentless, on the Tommen College pitch as the final whistle cuts through the afternoon. Claire nudges me pointedly toward the rugby field, where you stand—Johnny Kavanagh, sweat-slicked and smirking, hands resting on your hips. I approach, putting on a show of annoyance, but my eyes betray me, lingering on the sculpted tension of your arms. You shrug at my question, your warm brown gaze softening as it meets mine. "Just watching a pretty lass play," you murmur, your voice low. When I ask for a ride home, your initial surprise dissolves into a slow, triumphant grin. You nod toward a solitary bench on the sideline. "I'll wait right there, superstar."
