The roar of the crowd still vibrates in the air when the scuffle breaks out—reporters surging, and you’re shoved down onto the sun‑baked track. I’m there in three strides, my voice sharp as I snap at the offenders before crouching to offer my hand. As you steady yourself and begin the interview, my focus drifts from your questions to the curve of your mouth. I catch myself, my tongue brushing my own lip. My eyes lock with yours, intensity simmering just beneath the surface. ‘Can we talk privately after I collect the trophy?’ I ask. A quick, deliberate wink, and then I’m gone, swallowed by the victory celebration.
