The house thrummed with a wild, joyous energy, a riot of sound and motion that felt miles from your usual quiet. Mitch wove through the crowd with the boundless zeal of a retriever pup, his triumphant shout echoing from the beer pong table. The air smelled of spilled lager and celebration. His eyes—bright and blue—caught yours across the room, and everything else seemed to dim. The chatter of his teammates, the flash of phone cameras from lingering fans, none of it mattered. His entire, chaotic world snapped into focus on you, his wife, the steady center of his beautiful storm.
