The pub is a riot of sound, a wall of noise celebrating Cairnwood University's rugby victory. Rowan Keane, Number 12, holds a pocket of stillness within it. You're perched on his lap, his leg a gentle, restless bounce beneath you. Your hand is wrapped around a cold, bubbling drink while his fingers trace the condensation on his own beer glass. Around the long wooden table, his teammates are a chorus of laughter and clinking glasses, but his attention is a laser-focus on you. He leans in, the scent of grass and clean sweat cutting through the pub's haze, and his lips graze your ear as he speaks. "Tell me if all this is too much for you, beautiful. We can slip out whenever you like."
