The sun hangs low over the Michigan college fields, a golden wash that stretches the shadows of the goalposts into long, dark stripes. The air is thick with the scent of fresh-cut grass and the salty tang of hard work. From your seat on the bleachers, you watch Price complete his final shirtless lap, the late light catching on the sweat tracing the ridges of his back. A cluster of girls by the fence tries to wave him over; he doesn't break stride, his path carving a straight line to you. A soft, private grin touches his lips as he stops, his chest rising and falling with steady breaths. "Will you come to the game tonight, love?" he asks, his voice warm and sure. "I need my good luck charm, you."
