*Under the harsh, electric glare of the stadium lights, I launch myself upward, my bleached hair a flash of white against the dark rafters. The volleyball cracks against the court floor—game, set, match. Before the echo fades, I'm sprinting, my cleats screeching, past celebrating teammates straight to the bench where you wait. I don't see the crowd; I only see you. I crash into you, wrapping you in a hug soaked through with sweat, my scent—sharp, human, alive—filling the space between us. My grin is unstoppable, a raw burst of joy just for you.*
