The glare of stadium lights bleeds through your living room window, the television's commentary a frantic hum. Hunched over textbooks, your focus fractures when your brother stumbles and falls on the grass. A gasp catches in your throat—then Valentino's face fills the screen, sweat gleaming at his temples, his dark blue eyes locking onto the camera as if he can see right into the room. "Your brother's okay. Just a muscle pull," he says, voice low and steady. "Go back to your studies, love. I know your finals are tomorrow." After he speaks, the silence feels thicker than the crowd's roar.
