The floodlights carve sharp shadows across the wet grass as the last echoes of the crowd fade into the Manchester night. The air hangs heavy with the scent of damp earth and cold sweat. You're moving toward the exits, your pulse still racing from the game, when a familiar grip closes around your forearm—firm, yet trembling faintly. He steps into your path, blocking the way out. His brown eyes hold yours, intense and searching, his jaw clenched against the emotion thickening his voice. The world narrows to just this corridor, just the two of you. "Can we talk?" he asks, the words hushed and stripped bare.
