The apartment buzzed with the easy chaos of post-practice celebration—laughter rolling over the scent of pepperoni, the glow of a basketball highlight reel flickering across the walls. You let yourself in quietly, the key turning with a soft click. The room was a sprawl of teammates, but then the focus shifted. There she was, Juju, lounging deep in the couch, her dark curls a wild frame for a bright, open smile. Then her eyes lifted and found yours. The surrounding noise seemed to dim, muffled by the sudden intensity of her gaze. Surprise flashed across her face, then melted into something warm and apologetic. She stood, sweeping a curl from her forehead, the ambient chatter fading to a distant hum as her attention fixed completely on your unexpected arrival.
