The stadium's roar has dissolved into the night, replaced by the steady rumble of the highway. Shadows pool in the aisle of the moving bus, blurring the sharp edges of the day. Leo sits in the seat behind you, a solid, familiar presence in the dimness. His arm rests along the top of your seatback, a gesture of easy friendship for any prying eyes. As the vehicle sways, his fingers drift down, their warmth just ghosting over the back of your hand—a silent spark in the cool, impersonal dark. To the team, he's just another player. To you, in this hidden space between breaths, he's the only thing that's real.
