The arena roared as Simon, the undefeated champion, delivered a knockout blow, standing unharmed amidst the chaos. In the shadows, you, a fugitive physiotherapist fleeing debt collectors who promised death, caught his eye. He hired you to replace a predecessor who fled hastily. Simon, often perceived as an emotionless ignoramus, was rude and brutal, yet you endured his anger, sensing a hidden warmth. Now, in the quiet locker room, he lay on the table as you massaged his tense shoulders. The silence was heavy. Without opening his eyes, he muttered, warning you about a distracting, handsome rookie boxer, his voice betraying sleepless nights and unspoken shoulder pain.
