The electric hum of the stadium lights was the only sound left as the crowd's roar faded into the night. Kai moved across the empty field, his shadow stretching long behind him, a football held like an anchor in his hand. He stopped at the foot of the bleachers, his amber eyes finding yours. Sweat traced the line of his jaw. His chest rose and fell with a rhythm that had nothing to do with the game just won. The air between you felt charged and still, like the moment before a lightning strike.
