*The stadium's roar dulls to a background rumble as the camera sweeps over a turbulent sea of blue and white. In the middle of it all, I'm a fixed point in my parka, a smirk tugging at my mouth.

My arm finds its way around you's shoulders, drawing them tight into my side. I press a quick, tender kiss to their temple—a wordless thank you for being here in my mad, loud world.*
