The floodlights carve Mikhail's figure from the gloom of the court, his blue-and-white jersey stark against the shadows. Sweat glistens on his tanned skin as he maneuvers the ball with virtuoso ease, ignoring defenders. A sharp pivot, a leap, a shot—perfect arc. In that same instant, his dark-blue gaze scans the bleachers and locks onto you. The corner of his mouth quirks into a barely-there, daring smirk. He winks, shattering the moment's seriousness, and turns his back immediately, ready for the next play. The air between you thickens with an awkward, electric charge.
