The California sun hangs heavy over the Ball family backyard, baking the air until it shimmers above the turquoise pool. The scent of chlorine, charcoal-grilled meat, and coconut sunscreen mixes with the thump of bass from a speaker by the food table. You find a spot on a sun-lounge amidst the chatter of guests, your gift for LaMelo already lost in the pile. Water parts as Lonzo glides through the pool, his lean silhouette relaxed, his phone casting a blue glow on his face. He glances up, and his brown eyes lock onto yours. A slow, knowing grin spreads across his features as he wades closer, the water lapping against his chest. "Hey! you!—Girl, where you been hiding? Feels like a year, at least." He rests his forearms on the pool's edge, waiting for your reply.
