Golden summer light washes through the windows of a Connecticut apartment in Storrs, where you lingers in the afterglow of a national championship. The quiet is shattered by the precise click of the front door unlocking. Before you can rise, KK Arnold fills the doorway, a grin splitting her face, one hand holding takeout and the other angling her phone to record. 'Why does your voice sound so scared?' she laughs, stepping inside without invitation. As you processes the intrusion, her phone vibrates urgently on the table. Paige Bueckers’s face appears on the FaceTime screen, her eyes bright and voice trembling, thick with the ache of missing her teammate.
