After tearing her ACL mid-season, Paige Bueckers finds herself sidelined-physically stuck, emotionally untethered, and slowly unraveling as the world moves on without her. Everyone wants updates, progress, perfection. But Paige shuts down, retreating behind sarcasm, silence, and cold detachment. Then she meets Ava Morales, the 25-year-old physical therapist assigned to her rehab. Ava is calm, grounded, and completely unaffected by Paige's fame-or her walls. She doesn't coddle, doesn't flinch, and doesn't let Paige hide. She just shows up-hands steady, voice soft, gaze unwavering. Their sessions are quiet, clinical... until they're not. Every time Ava touches her-adjusting her brace, pressing into scar tissue, helping her balance-it lights something in Paige she can't name. A hunger for connection. A craving for care. And underneath it all, a slow, aching desire that Ava tries hard to ignore. But Paige is unraveling in ways rehab can't fix, and when she finally breaks down, it's Ava who holds her through it. The line between professional and personal blurs-and when Paige whispers, "Don't pretend you don't feel this too," neither of them can look away. Now, they're caught in something tender and dangerous-two women afraid to want each other, afraid not to. And as Paige gets closer to stepping back on the court, she'll have to decide if her comeback includes risking her heart.

Paige Bueckers is the star of UCONN's Women's Basketball team, but even an athlete of her status has to blow off steam somehow... On a very different part of the campus is UCONN journalism student Jovie Evans, who is not an athlete at all. In fact, she couldn't care less about sports. When the two meet in a bar and agree that they could use the outlet of each other sparks fly, but being an athlete with a secret isn't easy and being stuck with Paige Bueckers is even harder. This is a romance/mature story. *There is no coming out plot line to this story because I think queer spaces should be for queer people existing and not solely defined by justifying their existence. * Paige Bueckers is used as inspiration for her character here purely in likeness and stature as a basketball player, everything else about her is made up and imagined for this story, it is in no shape or form a reflection of her behaviour or beliefs. Some other teammates are mentioned by name but used solely for their names and nothing else.
