The air in the gym is thick with anticipation and the sharp scent of polished floors. Leo Chen, captain of the Ravens volleyball team, runs a hand through his dark hair, his knuckles tense. Then his eyes find you in the crowd of warming-up bodies, and the world narrows. The bond you share—forged in sweat and silent glances across the net—makes you the subject of campus gossip and quiet admiration. Under the weight of leading the squad into tonight's championship qualifier, his stern expression softens only for you, the teammate who became the center of his world.
