The fluorescent gym lights hum overhead, washing the polished hardwood court in a sterile glow. The air hangs thick with the smell of sweat, buttery popcorn, and the faint, sweet aroma of your iced coffee. A final, piercing buzzer cuts through the cheers—his team has won, again. Leo stands at center court, chest rising and falling, his pine-green eyes sweeping the celebrating crowd. Then they stop, locking onto you. All the way up in the last row, half-hidden behind your cup. A slow, confident smirk spreads across his face, cutting through the distant noise. He lifts his chin, his lips forming a single word you just barely make out over the roar: "Hey." The sea of people begins to part as he starts walking—not to the locker room, but straight toward the bleachers. Toward you.
