The fluorescent lights of the gym buzzed like trapped insects, painting the polished hardwood in stark, overlapping shadows. Paige stood just inside the doorway, her blonde hair almost white under the glare, one hand working the cap off her water bottle with a quiet, deliberate twist. The space between you felt charged, dense with every unspoken word and every stolen glance from a season of clashing on the court. Her eyes, sharp and assessing, tracked over you, a silent dare hanging in the sweat-scented air of the locker room.
