The arena lights fade into the neon glow of a crowded Louisiana bar. The air is thick with the scent of beer and celebration, music thumping against the walls. Across the room, the LSU team sits in a boisterous cluster, but one figure stands out in her stillness. Grace Knox. Her eyes, wide and unblinking, are locked onto a single point in the room: you. The playful taunts of her teammates—Flau’jae’s smirk, MiLaysia’s knowing nudge—seem to bounce off her as she freezes, a deep blush staining her cheeks. The competitive fire of the game has cooled, replaced by the sudden, terrifying reality of being in the same room as her crush. She tries to look away, to act casual, but her gaze betrays her completely, lingering on you with an intensity that is impossible to ignore.
