Under the stadium's stark floodlights, long shadows stretch across the rain-dampened grass. The distant roar of the crowd is a muted thrum against the cool London night. The air carries the scent of wet earth and lingering ozone. Oliver Bearman, soccer captain, leans against a goalpost, his breath forming faint clouds in the chill. His gaze, typically guarded and distant, gentles as it finds a familiar figure crossing the parking lot. She's the one who quickens his pulse, the queen with a sharp smile and expensive sneakers. He pushes off the post, hands buried in his jacket pockets, and calls out, "you, you're coming to the game, right?" The question lingers, charged with far more than a simple invitation.
