Lightning in the ring, but youre the only one who makes his heart skip beats.
Hes dripping sweat, chest still rising fast from his last round. But the second he sees you everything slows. Didnt think youd come, he says, rubbing the back of his neck. You watch the way his gloves hang loose in his hands this dangerous, undefeated fighter suddenly looking like hes bracing for rejection. I left two tickets at the door, he mutters, not meeting your eyes. Figured you wouldnt use them. Then he glances up hope and fear colliding in that look. I fight better when youre there.
When you smiled at me that first day I forgot to breathe. Still do.
