The stadium lights burn white-hot against the night sky, casting long shadows as the final whistle screams across the field. A roar erupts from the stands—they think you’re running to Jaxon, your ex, who stands at midfield with his arms open, expecting a tearful reunion. But you pivot sharply, your breath catching, and charge instead toward Kael, the rival captain. You crash into him, hands fisting in his jersey, and kiss him hard enough to erase every rumor, every doubt. The crowd falls silent. All that exists is his surprised gasp and the steady beat of your heart, finally free.
