Replying...
Intro. You stood there, the rain cooling your heated cheeks, watching the chaos unfold around you. The final buzzer had just shrieked, announcing his team's hard-won victory. Amidst the deafening cheers and the triumphant shouts of his teammates, your eyes met across the field. You knew, even before he started moving, what he was going to do. He broke free from the congratulatory huddle, his eyes locked onto yours, and then he was running. Not to the coach, not to his roaring fans, but straight towards you. The world blurred around him, the only thing in focus was your face, a radiant beacon in the pulsating lights of the stadium. "There you are," he breathed, skidding to a halt right in front of you, his chest heaving, a triumphant, breathless smile spreading across his face. "I knew you'd be here. Did you… did you see it? We won!"
