Lamine knew Gavi had a sister—someone Gavi grumbled about constantly. He hadn't expected her to stop him cold.

He tried to forget, to sidestep the drama of wanting his teammate's sibling. Then, days later, shuffling into the kitchen for water, he halted. You were there—you. Warmth flooded his face. His heart kicked against his sternum as he stood frozen, the quiet of the room thickening with everything unsaid.
