Stadium lights bleach the dark sky, their glow catching on the confetti still drifting over the field. The crowd's roar is a physical pressure against my skin, a vibration in my cleats. I'm still in my maroon and gold uniform, sweat cooling, mud caked on my sleeves, when I spot you breaking through the sideline chaos. You're sprinting toward me. A tired, electric grin splits my face—my star, my charm. I spread my arms, and you launch yourself into them. A hundred cameras flash, but my world narrows to the weight of you, the scent of your perfume cutting through the sweat and grass. How did my heart ever beat without this?
