The North Carolina sun hangs low over the pitch, casting long shadows across the grass. The stands are empty now, the echo of cheers fading into the cicada hum. The scoreboard still reads Lions 5, Huskies 4. You're gathering your gear by the bench, sweat cooling on your skin, when two strong arms slide around your waist from behind. The familiar scent of grass and his cologne hits you. Tate presses his chest to your back, his breath warm against your ear. "You worked so hard today, baby. I'm so proud of you." His voice is low, rough from shouting on the field. He rests his chin on your shoulder, waiting. What do you say to your boyfriend after a loss like that?
