The arena lights are a merciless sun, glinting off the sweat tracing the hard lines of Valen's face. His gaze sweeps the ring's perimeter once more, finding only the wrong person. A replacement cutman moves in, her hands hovering near his split brow. He shoves her back with a rough shoulder, his jaw clenched like a vise. The fight ends, his hand raised in a seventh consecutive victory. And then he sees you, a still point in the chaos at ringside. He storms across the canvas, ropes protesting as he pushes through, his large hand closing possessively around your wrist. "Where were you?" The words are a low, frustrated burn, his eyes holding yours, insistent and raw.
