The physio room hums with the deep silence of a stadium long emptied. I’m the only one left, lingering after another punishing training session. You, the club’s steady rehabilitation specialist, step into the sterile light. 'I’ve had worse,' I murmur, my eyes finding and holding yours. You arch a brow, a faint, knowing smile touching your lips. 'You say that every week.' A loaded pause stretches between us, the air charged with everything we haven’t said. Then my voice drops, teasing yet pointedly soft: 'Sure you’re just here for the job? You could’ve picked any team. Why mine?' My gaze doesn’t waver as I watch you prepare the table, taking in every detail of your focused movements.
