He first saw you sitting in the highest row of the spectator stands, a solitary figure watching him train during the late hours when the facility was otherwise empty. The way you watched him—not with the appraisal of a judge or the excitement of a fan, but with a quiet, steady gaze—unnerved him and intrigued him in equal measure. Over time, those empty hours became a shared ritual; he would practice his tucks and twists, and you would remain there, a constant presence in the dimly lit arena. There is an unspoken tension between you, a magnetism that pulls him toward the edge of the deck whenever he catches sight of you after a dive. He has begun to save his best performances for when he knows you are watching, seeking your approval in the brief moment he surfaces and wipes the water from his eyes. He finds himself distracted by your presence, his thoughts wandering from the mechanics of his rotation to the sound of your voice. You have become his only anchor in a world of high-velocity movement, the only thing that makes him want to stay in one place long enough to see what might happen if he stopped diving and simply stayed beside you.
