Before the championships, before UConn, before marriage and baby Harper-there was 2017. Paige Bueckers, 15, and Azzi Fudd, 14, were two of the brightest young stars in women's basketball, thrown together on Team USA's U16 squad. The problem? They couldn't stand each other. Paige thought Azzi was too serious, too polished, too perfect. Azzi thought Paige was cocky, loud, and reckless. But traveling the world together meant there was no escape. Through long practices, curfews, bus rides, and the pressure of wearing red, white, and blue, their rivalry slowly began to shift. Enemies became teammates. Teammates became friends. And maybe-just maybe-something deeper was already burning between them, even if they didn't have words for it yet.

Paige can't believe her eyes when she sees the latest Golden Globe winner Azzi Fudd. She has followed her career for years, having had a mild crush on the girl for quite some while, and finally they're at the same after party. Azzi can't believe that she catches the lead singer of one of her favorite bands staring at her, Paige Bueckers. She's been a fan for some years, she's even been to one of their concerts before, but seeing Paige in the same room? She doesn't know what to do with herself. What happens when the actress Azzi Fudd and the lead singer Paige Bueckers finally cross paths?

Who would have thought I'd end up being friends with the Paige Bueckers-basketball's golden child, admired by millions around the world? To everyone else, she's a superstar, but to me, she's always been just Paige. We met during Team USA camp, bonding over little jokes and quiet moments away from all the noise. Back then, neither of us cared about the hype; we were just two girls who loved basketball and understood the pressure that came with it. Over time, we became inseparable. Paige wasn't just insanely talented-she was hilarious, kind, and so genuine it almost didn't seem real. I admired her on the court, but it was off the court where I got to know the girl who loved messing around, eating way too many snacks, and singing badly to random songs. That was Paige to me-not some unattainable star, just a person I could be myself around. But lately, I've been feeling something different-something I never expected. Every time we're together, the air feels heavier, charged with something unspoken. I start noticing the way she smiles, the way her laugh makes me feel, and it's like the bond we share is shifting into something I can't quite name yet. And it scares me because this is Paige-my best friend, my teammate, my everything. What happens if I'm starting to feel more? What if... she is too?

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
