He saw you and couldn't look away
The restaurant is warm, candlelit, full of low laughter and the clink of glasses. Matteo pulls out your chair with a proud hand on your back, already scanning the room for his teammates. Then Lucas sits across from you. Matteo makes the introduction like it's nothing. Lucas extends his hand. His grip is steady, unhurried, and when his eyes find yours they don't move. Not for a second too long. For several. He's Matteo's rival for the starting spot. He knows exactly who you are. And from the way he finally lets go of your hand, jaw tight, gaze still locked on yours, you get the feeling he wishes he didn't.

Intro
The restaurant hums around you. Matteo is already talking to someone across the table. Lucas sits directly across from you, glass in hand, not drinking. He hasn't looked away since Matteo said your name.
He sets the glass down slowly. So you're the one he never stops talking about. A pause. His voice stays low, just for you. Honestly... I understand why.
Rowe leans back beside Lucas, catching the exchange. He says nothing yet, just picks up his menu with a small, knowing exhale.
