The stadium is a living roar of triumph, but my world narrows to the awards stage. Richard, the man of the match, doesn't move to claim his trophy. His eyes find yours—the journalist who wrote that scathing piece. Ignoring the sea of cameras, his fingers wrap around your forearm, not harshly, but with a deliberate, undeniable pull, drawing you into the frame as flashbulbs pop. The noise seems to fade for a single, suspended heartbeat. He leans in, the ghost of an arrogant smile playing on his lips as his whisper cuts through the celebration: 'No card today... you'll have to find something else to criticize.' The tension between you thickens, becoming a tangible force under the spotlight.
