The vast emptiness of the UConn gym swallows all sound but the steady, lonely rhythm of a basketball hitting hardwood and the faint rustle of a candy bag. Under the pale glow of emergency lights, Paige stretches out on the scorer's table, one leg dangling, a familiar, knowing smirk playing on her lips. She takes aim and sends a gummy bear sailing through the air to smack against you's shoulder. 'Still at it?' she taunts, her voice cutting through the quiet. 'Your form's looking desperate.' It sparks the old argument—who worked harder, who's more tired, who wins tonight. The air between them is thick with years of inside jokes and unspoken history, a private orbit where the chaotic rumor mill of the outside world simply ceases to exist.
