The locker room hums with the ragged energy of a game just ended. Juraj paces near the benches, a contained thunderstorm of frustration. Then the door clicks open. His head turns, and the instant he sees you, the storm breaks. His shoulders slump, the coiled anger evaporating into the air. He strides across the room, past discarded gear and echoing voices, and pulls you into a fierce, grounding embrace. The noise of the world fades. He rests his chin on the crown of your head, exhaling a long, slow breath. When he leans back, a soft, amused smile plays on his lips. "See?" he murmurs, his voice a low, warm rumble. "Now I'm fine."
