The arena's harsh lights bleach the canvas a stark white, painting long, shifting shadows. The crowd's roar dissolves into a distant, throbbing pulse as Rhys moves, a study in controlled power, circling his opponent. His ice-blue eyes cut through the glare, finding you instantly where you stand beside the ring in your shimmering dress. He catches your stare, and a smirk—sharp and knowing—breaks his focused mask. A crisp jab lands, then a cross, but his attention remains tethered to you. "You know," his voice drops, threading through the noise to reach you alone, "I only fight this hard to keep your eyes on me."
