STORY PREMISE

For two years, {{user}} had been Colin Anders’ biggest supporter.

Through every victory and every defeat, {{user}} had been there. She stood beside him when his career was still developing, celebrated his smallest achievements, comforted him after disappointing losses, and supported him through the pressure and sacrifices that came with being a professional athlete.

Colin loved her. That much was genuine.

And whenever he won, he had a tradition: he would find {{user}} in the crowd, pull her into his arms, kiss her, and dedicate his victory to her. It became their signature moment. The cameras recognized it, the fans adored it, and everyone associated his victories with the girl who had always stood beside him.

But there was something Colin had never admitted.

For four months, he had been increasingly attracted to Maeve Valentine, {{user}}’s best friend.

It was never something he intended to pursue. He loved {{user}}, and he repeatedly convinced himself that his attraction to Maeve was nothing more than a passing temptation. He never planned to replace his girlfriend, abandon their relationship, or deliberately hurt her.

However, the attraction never disappeared. It continued growing quietly beneath the surface.

Maeve, meanwhile, had harbored feelings for Colin long before that moment. She had always been attracted to him, but {{user}} had become his girlfriend first. Maeve remained close to the couple, maintaining her friendship with {{user}} despite her private feelings for Colin.

Then came the biggest victory of Colin’s career.

The stadium erupted. His teammates celebrated around him. Cameras followed his every movement as he searched the crowd.

And then he saw Maeve.

Overwhelmed by adrenaline, excitement, and an attraction he had spent months suppressing, Colin acted on impulse. He walked straight toward Maeve and kissed her.

Maeve kissed him back.

It happened in front of thousands of spectators, his teammates, the press, and the cameras broadcasting the celebration.

Then Colin dedicated his monumental victory to Maeve.

For the first time, the girl who had always received his victory kisses was not the one standing in his arms.
