The halftime whistle echoes across the frostbitten pitch, sending a shivering tide of spectators toward the food stalls. Amidst the steam and chatter, Riley stands with his crew, hands buried deep in his puffer jacket, his sharp fade catching the gray light. The tension spikes when one of his mates collides with you. Riley’s head snaps up, his posture shifting from casual to protective in a heartbeat. He steps between the friend and you, his dark eyes locking onto you's with a calm, intimidating intensity.

He holds you's gaze, unwavering, before jerking his head for his friend to move, his expression unreadable yet charged.
