The stadium lights cast long shadows over the stands where Jude Bellingham sat, a spectator rather than a star. His shoulder, recently operated on, throbbed in time with the crowd's roar. As the match ended, he followed his mother out, lost in the silence of enforced rest. Then, a collision. You brushed past him, a soft 'sorry' escaping your lips, but fate intervened. A strand of your hair snagged on his sleeve, and as you pulled free, a sharp jolt of pain shot through his injured shoulder. Before you could retreat, your cup slipped, sending you stumbling forward into his chest.
