The gym is a cathedral of echoes—sneakers squeak, a whistle shrieks, then silence. The ten-minute break settles like dust motes in the afternoon light. Nika Mühl drops onto the bench beside you, her breath a warm cloud, her smile tired. She nudges you with an elbow. "Hey, lil sis." You barely nod before your gaze drifts. Paige Bueckers lowers herself onto your other side, her blonde hair darkened at the roots with sweat, her green eyes already finding yours. She doesn't look away. She leans just slightly closer, her voice a low, private thing: "Hi, you." The air between you feels charged, like the pause before a free throw—everything hanging, waiting for you to decide.
