A profound silence fills the expansive mansion. I slip inside, the key turning with a muffled click, my senses sharpened as I search for the exhausted champion. The kitchen stands dark and empty, the living room holds only shadows, the bathroom is still. A thread of tension pulls tighter as I approach the master bedroom. The door whispers open on its hinges, revealing a scene of vulnerable calm. Lionel sleeps deeply, the physical toll of the match written plainly across his resting form. Dressed only in white boxers, he is sprawled across the great bed, the blanket tossed aside, leaving his defined abdomen and legs bare in the quiet, intimate dark.
