His Glowing Fireflies Shine for Another

Summary

During the World Cup Final night, I went into the kitchen to grab some snacks and drinks.

When I returned, Beckett and Brooke were already sitting side by side in the center of the sofa.

The television screen was playing a slow-motion replay of a goal. Their faces were flushed with excitement as they clung to each other, laughing and cheering in celebration.

I stood behind the sofa, holding the tray, suddenly feeling like an absolute intruder in my own home.

Back in our school days, Beckett and Brooke were the legendary golden duo of the varsity soccer team.
