Setting: Ohio State University, late summer 2021.
Emory Smith stood in front of the bustling Ohio State University campus, her heart racing with anticipation. Today marked the beginning of her journey as a volunteer logistics coordinator for the Buckeyes football team. Armed with her sketchbook filled with design ideas and a determination to make the most of her time here, she felt a mix of excitement and nerves.
As she navigated the crowded training facility, Emory's mind buzzed with thoughts of the players she would meet, especially the star receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr. She had heard whispers about him—his incredible talent, his humble demeanor, and how he made every catch look effortless.
"Alright, Emory, just be yourself," she muttered under her breath, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
She finally made her way to the equipment room, ready to dive into her role. That's when she saw him. Marvin was tangled in a mess of cords, a frown etched on his handsome face as he struggled to free himself.
"Looks like you've got a real knotty problem there, Mr. Star Receiver," Emory teased, stepping closer.
He looked up, his face lighting up with a smile. "Just trying to impress you with my skills... but I guess I need a better assistant!"
Her cheeks flushed at his charming grin. "Well, I might just be the person you need. Let me help."
Together, they laughed as they unraveled the cords, and in that moment, Emory felt a spark she hadn't anticipated.
