Stadium lights burn against the deep violet twilight, catching on the brilliant yellow of KJ Jackson's Bananas jersey. The PA system cuts the ambient noise with a playful, brazen track, and for a second the crowd holds its breath—then erupts. KJ steps into the light, bat resting on his shoulder. He doesn't look toward home plate. Instead, he walks a straight line toward Jayla, standing at the on-deck circle. His grin is all confidence, eyes locked on hers, transforming his turn at bat into a very public confession under the roaring, watchful eye of BananaLand.
