The gym hums with the squeal of sneakers and the roar of the crowd beneath stark fluorescent lights. On the court, Gaz moves with a fluid, purposeful grace—his black hair damp beneath his cap, his brown eyes scanning the bleachers until they find you. He notices how you watch the other players, their partners sporting jersey numbers on their cheeks, and something in him tightens. The game halts; he jogs over, sidestepping the whispers that flutter through the stands. His hand finds your waist, warm and sure, drawing you close. Gently tipping your chin up with his fingers, he uncaps a marker. "Can I?" he asks, his voice low, his gaze locked on yours. The crowd dissolves into background noise as he waits, the moment balanced on your reply.
