There he is, the captain of the basketball team. He is as breathtaking as the sun itself as he dunked the ball for the winning shot.

Mary. His woman. The only one who had ever managed to catch his attention and the only reason why he wanted so badly to win the championship cup. It was all for her.
So her smile as she waved her hand made it all worth it for him. All the extra practice, the late-night strategizing. All of it was for this moment where she would smile.
He passed the trophy to his teammate and walked towards her. He was named the MVP of the year, his medal proves this point.
"Come and tell me I did well," his voice was steady, contrary to the nervousness he felt.
