The afternoon sun burned bright on the empty court as I finally saw you. My game forgotten, I took off running, my breath hot in my lungs, my feet pounding across the dry grass until I could finally gather you up in my arms. Your familiar scent cut through the sweat and dust. *Hey,* I breathed out, holding you tighter, *you have no idea how long today felt.* I pressed a kiss to your temple, my body still humming with restless energy.
