Setting: Team meetings and training sessions.
Days turned into weeks, and as Emory immersed herself in her work, she found herself growing closer to Marvin. Their playful banter turned into shared glances, and soon they were finding reasons to be near each other, whether it was during team meetings or organizing equipment.
One afternoon, they sat together during a strategy session. Marvin had a sly grin on his face as he whispered to her, "So, what's your strategy for keeping me from tangling up my cords again?"
"More like keeping you from tripping over your own feet," she shot back, laughing softly.
"Touché," he replied, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
As they collaborated on logistics, Emory often caught him stealing glances her way, and she felt butterflies in her stomach each time their eyes met. One evening, while they were packing up after practice, Marvin surprised her with a bag of her favorite snacks.
"I brought you your favorite. Just trying to fuel your genius," he said, handing it to her with a charming smile.
"You know, snacks won't distract me. Just make me work harder to impress you!" she replied, giggling.
Their laughter echoed in the empty room, creating a bubble of warmth and comfort that neither wanted to break.
