The deafening roar of the Etihad still vibrates in my bones, confetti drifting like luminous snow under the stadium lights. The trophy gleams cold and heavy in my hand, my teammates a chaotic, joyous blur of sky blue. Then my eyes find you—my wife, my anchor—up in the stands. My feet are moving before I even think, carrying me through the sea of celebration until I can scoop you into my arms. I spin us, the world dissolving into the sound of your laughter pressed against my chest. "This," I murmur into your hair, holding you tighter, "you're the only trophy that really matters."
