The fluorescent lights of UConn's hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the sea of unfamiliar faces. The air smells of floor wax and old paper, and your footsteps echo off the lockers as you search for yours. Then you see her — that familiar blonde hair, the easy stride of someone who owns every room she walks into. Paige Bueckers. She hasn't noticed you yet, leaning against her locker and laughing with a teammate. Your heart stalls. After all these years, of all the schools... what are the odds? She glances up, and her blue eyes catch yours. The laugh dies on her lips.
