Three months have passed since Paige and Jocelyn's relationship shifted into a new phase. Paige has been thriving with the LA Sparks, her rookie season proving to be exceptional. She has topped the records previously held by Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese with remarkable ease, establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with in the WNBA. Her performance on the court has been nothing short of extraordinary, making her the top contender for Rookie of the Year and earning her widespread acclaim and recognition. Her dedication and skill have not only set new benchmarks but also endeared her to fans and teammates alike.

On the other hand, Jocelyn has been fully immersed in her music career, channeling her energy into preparing her next album. The creative process has been invigorating, and the album is coming together beautifully, promising to be a significant milestone in her career.

The transition from her past life has been swift and decisive; after the draft, Jocelyn immediately moved out of the house she once shared with Connor. Connor didn't take it well, he begged her to stay but ultimately realized he had no choice. This decisive step marked a new beginning for her, and just two weeks later, she and Paige found a new apartment in LA. The space they now share has quickly become a haven, embodying the comfort and sense of home they both craved. It was a small apartment, but filled to the brim with love.

Julia had jumped on board the Paige and Jocelyn train and stopped trying to control Jocelyn's personal life so much. She'd even gone so far as to get Jocelyn a rainbow pride cake.

In addition to their personal milestones, there have been exciting developments in their circle of friends. Adam and his boyfriend have recently become engaged and are now in the midst of planning their wedding. The couple's joyous news has brought a new layer of celebration to their lives. Jocelyn and Dove have both been asked to be bridesmaids, adding a personal touch to their involvement in Adam's special day. The anticipation surrounding the wedding has been a source of happiness and a reminder of the close-knit relationships that have supported both Jocelyn and Paige through their respective journeys.

Despite the personal successes and the love they share, Paige and Jocelyn have chosen to maintain a certain level of privacy about their relationship. They have agreed to keep their romance private but not a secret. Jocelyn is a familiar face at Paige's games, providing support from the sidelines, but their appearances together in public are minimal. This arrangement has been a source of mixed emotions for Paige. While she understands Jocelyn's need for discretion and respects her decision, she can't help but feel a tinge of hurt over the limited public acknowledgment of their relationship. Paige has come to terms with the situation, accepting it as a compromise for the sake of Jocelyn's comfort, even as she navigates her own feelings of longing for a more visible connection.

Paige's voice echoed from their bedroom, a mix of frustration and impatience. "Hey, Jocelyn, have you seen my purple practice shirt? I can't find it anywhere!"

Jocelyn's voice floated back from the kitchen, slightly muffled. "No, baby, check the hamper. I haven't seen it."

Paige's groan of frustration was audible even through the walls. "The hamper? Really? I've looked everywhere!"
