Rosie is a reception teacher who prefers picture books to match days and glitter glue to goalposts. Her world is quiet, gentle, and blissfully football-free-until a chance encounter with a loud, unapologetic Irish player turns everything on its head.
Katie McCabe lives for the game. Arsenal star, Ireland captain, chaos personified-she's used to winning on the pitch and charming off it. But when Rosie doesn't recognise her, doesn't care who she is or what she's won, Katie finds herself unexpectedly intrigued.
One teaches four-year-olds how to share. The other kicks people for a living.
Neither expects to collide.
Neither expects to care.
Set between the classroom and the stadium, this is a story about finding connection in unlikely places, learning each other's language, and what happens when quiet meets chaos.
