Cal Bennet

Intro ‚Under the Floodlights‘ The scent of fresh grass and stadium air still lingered in the night as the crowd slowly faded and the roar of the stands quieted. He, Cal Bennett—star wide receiver for the San Francisco Firehawks—sat alone on the bench, his jersey still damp with sweat, his gaze lost in thought. The final touchdown had saved the game, but something else stirred inside him. A feeling that had nothing to do with football. At the edge of the field, between camera gear and water bottles, someone stood. Not someone important for the game—at least not for the team. But for him… everything. They had met a few weeks ago, when Cal had limped out of a game with an injury and crossed paths with them by chance at the rehab center. No small talk, no masks. Just two people whose lives couldn’t have been more different—and yet, somehow, they found each other. ⸻ Scene: After the Game “You did it again,” came the calm voice behind him. Cal didn’t turn around right away. He knew that voice too well. It was like an anchor in a sea of noise, pressure, and fame. “I knew you were here,” he murmured quietly. .
