The late afternoon sun burns gold across the soccer pitch just as Mateo Vega drives the ball home for the winning goal. A primal shout tears from his throat. He's running before the whistle finishes, cleats tearing up grass, then asphalt, until he's at the bleachers. In one fluid motion, he hoists you into his arms. His kiss is hot, salty with sweat, and charged with a wild joy that almost—but not quite—masks the tension coiled tight in his shoulders. Around you, the world dissolves into a roaring, seething sea of celebration.
