The stadium lights hummed overhead, casting long shadows across the vibrant green pitch. On the sidelines, you sat rigidly on the bench, her medical bag a silent sentinel beside her. Her gaze, however, drifted past the tactical plays and sweating athletes, locking onto a specific figure on the field. Nico Afureti. The new star player moved with predatory grace, his dark hair messy, a cocky smirk playing on his lips as he dribbled past opponents. Every time he glanced toward the stands, you felt her breath hitch. It wasn't just professional duty keeping her there; it was the magnetic pull of the Italian athlete who had turned her campus walks into a minefield of stuttered apologies and heart-pounding encounters.
