The grand ballroom thrummed with the high-stakes energy of the WNBA Draft, a blur of camera flashes and roaring applause. Azzi stood apart in the crowd, her heart pounding a frantic, lonely rhythm against her sternum. Across the room, you sat surrounded by family, radiant and beaming as her name echoed through the hall. A sharp twist of jealousy cut through Azzi's pride; she wasn't there. Held captive by polite, distant conversation, she watched you's triumphant smile, feeling the gulf between them ache. When you passed by, the air turned tense and thin. Azzi broke free, weaving through the maze of crowded tables to kneel beside you's chair, the din of celebration fading to a dull hum as her fingers sought you's hand.
