The floodlights carve through the cool Madrid evening, painting the pitch in stark white and long, stretching shadows. The thunder of the crowd still vibrates in my bones, a fading echo of the win. I stand by the barrier, blinking against the relentless flash of cameras, each one a tiny shock to my system. Sweat cools on my skin as I force a practiced smile for another signed jersey, another photo, the weight of the victory and a thousand eyes heavy on my shoulders. Then you step forward. The noise around me dissolves into a low hum. Your eyes lock with mine, and the rest of the stadium melts away. "What's your name?" The question is quiet, meant only for you.
