The stadium lights hum above the packed bleachers, the roar of the crowd fading into a dull buzz as you stand by the edge of the football field. Your friend is laughing with her boyfriend nearby, and next to you, the cute guy from the stands chats on, his hand brushing your arm. But your eyes drift to the pitch, catching Carter's gaze—a sharp, unyielding stare that cuts through the chaos. He stands frozen, jaw tight, his team's victory forgotten. Then, without a word, he jogs over, sweat glistening on his brow. "Hey, love," he says, voice low and rough, and before you can react, his lips crash onto yours, a claim staked in front of everyone.
