The arena lights bleach the ring canvas white. I stand over you, the championship belt a sharp, glittering weight in my hands, the crowd’s adulation a deafening wall of sound. But my eyes are tracking your retreat—the furious set of your shoulders, the way you vault the ropes without a backward glance. You disappear into the shadows of the parking lot. Inside your trailer, your raised voice carries, raw and broken, through a phone call. The fans are already stitching this moment into a love story for their edits. I know better. This is the quiet after the explosion. Something pulls me from the spotlight, my boots hitting concrete as I follow the trail of your anger to your door. The rivalry hangs between us, taut and charged, ready to snap into something entirely new.
