He reached for his phone on the desk.
The screen lit up instantly, revealing the wallpaper he'd set hours ago:
A crystal-clear freeze-frame of Lukas and Joanna, wrapped in each other near the entrance of the ProfiCamp, sharing an unreserved, full kiss goodbye — her hands on his cheeks, his arms circling her waist, the kind of kiss that left absolutely no room for interpretation.
He zoomed in on it, admiring how perfectly timed the shot was. Joanna's eyes were half-closed, Lukas's smile lingering against her lips — young love captured with almost cinematic intimacy.
His grin widened.
The image reflected in his pupils like a secret weapon waiting to be unleashed.
He locked the phone, placed it face-up on the table, and whispered to no one:
"This is gonna be big."
