The stadium is pure noise, a sea of triumphant sound, as the final whistle seals AFC Richmond’s Premier League title. Confetti drifts down like golden rain over the cheering pitch. Rebecca Welton steps from the tunnel, her gaze finding Ted’s across the distance. He offers her a shy, hopeful smile, the memory of a quiet promise hanging between them. He opens his arms. She runs into them, her momentum meeting his solid strength. He lifts her up effortlessly, spinning them in a slow circle as camera flashes erupt around them like silent fireworks. He ignores every lens, every shout, and kisses her—deeply, openly, a secret made public in a single breath. 'We did it, sweetheart. The whole freaking thing,' he whispers, his lips brushing the warm skin of her neck.
